Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
A West Coast band from Los Angeles whose sound was characterised by Gayle McCormick's great voice. She was from St. Louis originally. Both their albums were produced by Steve Barri. Most of the songs on their first album were cover versions and they are also well remembered for their version of The Weight in the Soundtrack to Easy Rider. Almost all of the material on Minus - Plus was written by well known sessionman Alan Parker and their keyboardist Larry Moss. Baby It's You got to No 5 in the U.S. Charts and Take A Look Around and What Am I Gonna Do were both minor hits peaking at No's 43 and 73 respectively. Gayle McCormick later went solo. Alan Parker, who'd previously been in Summerhill, later fronted his own band.
