Not to much information available.
The story is that circa 1969, EJ and friends recorded an album as The Bread and Beer Band, but didn’t manage to secure a release for it, so a tiny number were pressed up privately, barely any of which have ever surfaced.
That might have been the end of it, but at some point DJM, for reasons best known to themselves decided to press up two tracks as a single, which came out under the name Conrad’s Foot and predictably vanished without trace!
Mellow Yellow is a groovy, semi instrumental take, with tripped out vocals buried beneath a pumping dub sounding bassline, The Letter is much more up-tempo with fuzz guitar and frantic drums, and a strong, very Elton John sounding vocal / keys.
Caleb Quaye - Guitar
Starting in 1969, Quaye played guitar supporting Elton John at live concerts around the local London area, with what eventually became the nucleus of Hookfoot for sporadic shows. The live support work continued until Elton formed his original touring band in the spring of 1970, the trio featuring Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson.
In April 1970, Quaye formed the band Hookfoot with Ian Duck, Roger Pope and David Glover,[2] all of whom were DJM Records house musicians and had backed Elton's earliest live performances.
Please listen.
