Biography

British psychedelic rock band founded in 1967 in London and disbanded in 1969; briefly reforming in 1971. John Lennon named the band after an art book by Yoko Ono. The Beatles were closely involved in their early career, signing them to Apple Publishing for songwriting, though their Apple demos and masters were not released until 2016. John Perry was one of the supporting vocalists on "Hey Jude," and Lennon and Paul McCartney produced their first single, "Lullaby." However, due to Apple employee shuffles and contract expirations, the band signed to RCA and Equinox Productions, Terry Melcher's company. They re-recorded "Lullaby" and had a string of minor hit singles and albums before disbanding. George Alexander is related to members of The Easybeats and AC/DC and kept active. John Perry went on to work with Cliff Richard. Geoff Swettenham later drummed for Matthew Fisher and Ruby (Procol Harum spin-off). Pete Swettenham kept writing songs, including collaborations with Chris Andrews (Fleur de Lys, Roger Daltrey, David Essex), and Pete went on to work with Deaf School, Ralph McTell, and Mott the Hoople. Members: George Alexander (bass) George Alexander (born Alexander Young, born 28 December 1938, Cranhill, East End, Glasgow - died 4 August 1997) — bass guitar and vocals John Perry (lead guitar) Geoff Swettenham (drums) Pete Swettenham (guitar)
