British session musicians Jon Mark (vocals, guitar, drums) and John Almond (vocals, woodwinds, vibes, percussion) met while playing together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and left in 1970 to form Mark-Almond, sometimes referred to as the Mark-Almond Band.
Prior to his career with Mayall, Mark and Mick Jagger co-produced Marianne Faithfull's early albums, with Mark later writing material for her and touring with her. He also toured with folksinger Alun Davies, and the two formed an ill-fated band called Sweet Thursday.
Almond, meanwhile, had played in Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, the Alan Price Set, and Johnny Almond's Music Machine. Both joined the Bluesbreakers in 1969 and appeared on the albums Turning Point and Empty Rooms; they left in 1970 and recruited bassist Rodger Sutton and keyboardist Tommy Eyre.
Mark-Almond built something of a cult following through touring, with their live shows often featuring lengthy instrumental jams. They disbanded in 1973

Clean, unmarked labels - light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new - Side One has a couple of harmless marks
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with crystal clear, clean and rich sound - an odd static tick noted - nothing really
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The textured cover is crisp and sharp but there is a small touch of damage bottom back (please see close-up photographs) - nothing too major
