Tapestry of Delights:
A quartet who had quite a prolific output. Their debut album is full of guitar-driven hard rock. Tracks like the opener All In Your Mind, Taken All The Good Things, Around The World In Eighty Days and Time Machine are pretty tasty and at over 45 minutes playing time, good value. Its weakness is lack of variety and the musical quality definitely tapers off on side two. Stray were at one time managed by Charlie Kray, the Kray twins' brother.
Del Bromham lives in Milton Keynes and still regularly cobbles together a group to play under this name. He's also released singles under his own name in the past on the Gull label amongst others.

unknown:
Maggie Bell was just 16 years old when she recorded a few singles with Frankie And Johnny. Afterwards she met Welsh guitarist Les Harvey through his brother Alex Harvey (supposedly, Bell's first onstage performances was with Alex Harvey). Bell and Harvey would play clubs and U.S. Army/Air Force bases in Europe. They formed Power with bassist Jim Dewar and keyboardist John McGinnis in late '69. They were soon discovered by Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant who renamed them Stone The Crows (the term "Stone The Crows" is from a Scottish curse meaning "the hell with it"). After former John Mayall's Bluebreakers' drummer Colin Allen joined, they recorded and released their self titled debut which featured a cover of The Beatles' Fool On The Hill as well as a side 2 epic entitled America.
After the release of their follow up album, Ode To John Law, McGinnis and Dewar left (Dewar would later join with Robin Trower) and were replaced with bassist Steve Thompson and keyboardist Ronnie Leahy. After the successful 1971 release of Teenage Licks, Bell was voted by a Melody Maker readers poll as Best Female Vocalist as many critics hailed her as an obvious successor to Janis Joplin. As the group was doing a sound check for a show in Swansea Wales, Les Harvey was electrocuted and died instantly. The band was devastated.
Deciding to carry on they chose Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green for a possible replacement. Even though Green rehearsed with the group, he cancelled at the last minute. Yes guitarist Steve Howe filled in for a few gigs until Thunderclap Newman guitarist Jimmy McCulloch joined. McCulloch helped out with the recording of 'Ontinuous Peformance which had began before Les Harvey's death. Never really recovering after the demise of Harvey, the group would split up in 1973. Drummer Colin Allen would join Focus and McCulloch joined Paul McCartney And Wings. Maggie Bell went solo with the release of Queen Of The Night which featured her cover of Ringo Starr's Oh My My. She recorded Suicide Sal for Swan Song Records in '75 which featured guest guitarist Jimmy Page, both albums charted in the U.S. Bell formed Midnight Flyer with former Foghat bassist Tony Stevens in 1978. She sang a duet with B.A. Robertson in which the song Hold Me went Top Twenty in 1981. She worked with a reformed Alex Harvey Band until his death in 1982. After years of touring Bell settled down with her family. She has recently worked with Long John Baldry and shared the stage with vocalist Chris Farlowe.

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
Lewiston, Idaho was home to the Speer brothers and they started pre-teen groups in the early '60s, first as the Three Dimensions and later the Knights Of Sound. Renamed Stone Garden in 1967, they were influenced by the Doors, Hendrix, Cream, Beatles and Creedence.
In 1969 local support led to their first recording forays resulting in their now-rare 45 and several unreleased tracks recorded by Rick Keefer at Ripcord Studios in Vancouver, Washington. All are aired on the LP, which consists predominantly of heavy acid-rock with Cream influences to the fore.
Graduations would force line-up changes and the band relocated to Seattle in 1971, only to break up a year later. ~ (Max Waller)

Its song Mind Bender charted in the top 40 in 1977. The band existed from 1973 to 1982 and was based in Warner Robins, Georgia. It released two albums on Capricorn Records, Stillwater (1977), which included the single "Mind Bender", and I Reserve the Right! (1978). It broke up shortly after the loss of Capricorn Records. The group re-formed with drummer David Heck and released the album Running Free in (1997).
Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
Formed in 1965 as The Syndicate in the Minneapolis suburb of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, they changed their name to The Stillroven in early 1966 when rhythm guitarist Dan Kane replaced Mark Moorhead from The Syndicate's earlier line-up.
The Falcon promo, She's My Woman/(I'm Not Your)Stepping Stone, only had a limited pressing of 50 copies, and like many of their singles is very sought-after. The superb Little Picture Playhouse/Cast Thy Burden Upon The Stone 45 features pure Anglophile pop on the 'A' side with its quaint theatrical metaphors and piano-based arrangement. The track was originally recorded by U.K. outfit Simon Dupree and The Big Sound and together with the flip, where John Howarth's electric sitar playing adds that hallucinogenic flavour, is arguably their creative zenith.
Following this 45, their manager Peter May moved to Tucson, Arizona, although he still continued his manager / producer role from a distance. More damaging was the departure of talented vocalist Phil Larkin and Dave Berget (although he later rejoined the band). In June 1968, they cut a fourth single, Come In The Morning/Necessary Person. The 'A' side was a Moby Grape cover, but May decided shortly after its release to pull the 'A' side and replace it with a more convincing rendition of The Small Faces' Tell Me Have You Ever Seen Me. By now Dave Berget had rejoined to provide the lead vocal on the song. Only 100 copies of Come In The Morning are thought to have left the factory, making it another highly collectable 45. The flip of both versions of this 45 was a pleasant Mike O'Gara original.
