Their first album was produced by Scotty McKay and recorded at Robin Hood Brian's studio in Tyler, Texas.
Side one is predominantly psychedelic and a 45 from it was issued the following year.
Side two was in more of a heavy rock style. It did well enough to attract the interest of EMI
subsidiary UNI who signed the band. The result was Do Their Thing, which was basically a blues rock album
with some psychedelic trappings. It did have its moments and You Were So Close To Me, Softly To The Sun,
Just Plain Jane and Dreams are the better tracks.
However, the sales were poor and UNI quietly dropped the band...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
