Their Debut Album "St. Radigunds" Was Named After The Street That Their Student House Was On. It Established Them As A Cult Act On The Underground Club Circuit And Sold Respectably.

Copies Of All Three Albums Are Rare And Expensive Today With Bells Boots And Shambles Almost Impossible To Acquire. All Three Also Appeared On Brain Records In Germany With Gatefold Sleeves Unlike Their UK Counterparts . Dave Mattacks Of Fairport Convention Played Drums On All Three Albums As A Guest.
