Something of a 'supergroup' since Jones came from Amen Corner and Bown and Spinetti from The Herd.  Like most 'supergroups', they manifestly failed to live up to all the hype and only lasted for a couple of years. Their album was basically heavy progressive rock with lots of guitar, flute, sax and mellotrons.

Bown later joined Storyteller before embarking on a solo career.  He later joined Status Quo.  Spinetti went into session work although he was later in several other bands.
