LABEL PETERS INTERNATIONAL RECORDS INC 1976 USA . CATALOG # CCLPS-9016 STEREO. PICTURES MON/TUES . Timebox went on for just over two years. The released sum of Timebox recordings was 5 singles on the British Deram label, a most revolutionary UK label with a remarkable degree of foresight in its heyday. Timebox never had an LP issued anywhere in the world! The band released an exceptionally produced and immaculately orchestrated version of the Four Seasons’ tune "Beggin" which then became a moderate UK chart single. "Beggin’ was not exactly Timebox’s bag and there was no way that the band could or would reproduce that sound on stage, hence, they did not perform much of their pop material live, but concentrated on their heavier progressive rock and jazz. This caused a great deal of consternation amongst bookers who found audiences coming along to view Timebox mainly for their singles sounds. Finally, after enduring this situation, Holmes split and Ace British bassist/producer Mervyn Winwood (Steves brother) dubbed the four as Patto. This tremendous lineup recorded four utterly fantastic elpees (one unissued at this date) and were known for their eccentricities: weird lyrics, golfing, soiled spoons, and some of the best uniquely-arranged rock and jazz of all time. After this band’s lamented demise, Patto did some solo recording (how many of you have a copy of his "Get Up and Get With It’ punk single?), gigged with Dick and The Firemen, a part-time superstar party band, did a stint as a recording company executive, and then to Boxer. Ollie did such live work as with Tempest, Kevin Ayers, Grimms etc. while venturing into the studio for recordings with Neil Innes and The Jesus Christ Superstar piece (note: Ollie takes pains to hide the fact that he played guitar on Petula Clarks ‘Downtown’ sessions) and then to Boxer. The material from the Timebox era, compiled on this album, remains as the spark of creativity which the world now knows as The Original Moose on the Loose.
