Some of these dates are out by a few months.
Hollywood Sunset was released in late 1973, Shamblejam in late 1975, and Rehearsal for a Reunion in October 1977.
March 2007 - Just picked up a big mistake and corrected it. Keith Rycroft was described as Keith Routledge in the original post. Routledge was I think with Meet Jesus Music. Amazing how names stick over the years.
Further corrections and additions to make this the definitive chronology
i only have the first two albums., exceptionally good.
will now seek out the follow-ups, and am now cognisant of River., Thank You
