      From Jacksonville, Florida, they previously recorded a 45 as The Tiffany System. Produced by Steve Alaimo, their album, which is of the 'progressive' genre, is a very minor collectable, though it has its moments; from the extended moody cover of Codine, the evocative but doomy dirge Cries Of Treason; the Byrdsy folk-rock of A Different Kind Of Head; and the psychy freakout of A Nickel's Worth Of Benny's Help. An album that has some rewards for the patient listener.

      After the album, they teamed up with Gregg and Duane Allman, recording the tapes which were finally released as Gregg and Duane Allman by Steve Alaimo on his Bold label.

      Trucks stayed with the Allmans to form The Allman Brothers, Boyer created Cowboy with Tommy Talton (ex-We The People) and David Brown would join Santana and Boz Scaggs.
