Their album had a superb 'period' cover. Musically, whimsical toytown
pop-psych is on offer. In the early seventies Rod Edwards and Roger Hand formed
Edwards Hand. Of their 45s, “Yellow Rainbow” was written by Graham
Nash.
Keith Hodge later worked with Duncan Browne,
Suzi Quatro and
Deke Leonard.
Compilation appearances include: “Yellow Rainbow” on “Psychedelic
Voyage Vol. 1” (LP) and “Psychedelic Voyage” (CD).
