Newman and Coleman previously in Pinkerton's Assorted Colours, Wilkinson previously in The Peeps and Jones was in The Sabres (with Wilkinson)

Rex Brough has it that - In 1971 they played a final gig in the 40 thieves nightclub, the first lineup called it a day. Phil Clough and Mike Summerson replaced Coleman and James. and that - Stuart Coleman became a BBC London radio DJ in the late '70s, running first the rock'n'roll show "Echoes", later appearing on Capitol Gold.
