In addition to albums they released a number singles, made several pub tours in the UK (as The Variety Show), were the "opening act" with [a128516] and the group [a66999], toured to Turkey and Iran, which gave them a certain importance in the eyes of the cynical show business, but they did not have the strength, ability and talent to climb from the foot of the British musical Olympus to its top, and soon they were lost somewhere along the way during this difficult and thorny climbing. While their albums are rarely mentioned in the music press these days, they certainly cause considerable interest among the restless and inquisitive sound archaeologists as a very curious artifact vinyl British "rock scene" of the seventies of the twentieth century.
