==Background== |
|||
In 1969, Skin Alley released their [[self-titled]] [[studio album]], it being their first. Only a few months after the release of their debut album, they would return to the studio in order to start working on a follow up. At this point bandmember [[Thomas Crimble]] would depart for [[rock band]] [[Hawkwind]], and would be replaced by musician (bassist and flutist) and ex [[Atomic Rooster]] member, [[Nick Graham (musician)|Nick Graham]]. This change in line-up would cause the band to lean towards a more improvisational style, as the band would continue into recording their significant second album. |
