Feedback (Spirit album)

Untitled

Feedback is the 5th album by the rock & roll band Spirit. Released in 1972, it was the first Spirit album without original members Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes, and it was also the only Spirit album that did not feature Randy California performing on it, as California had left the group to pursue a solo career.

Feedback reached the same chart position on the U.S. Billboard Magazine album charts as its predecessor, Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.

Feedback was the only Spirit album to feature the Staehely brothers as band members. Although the album wasn't widely heard in later years, it has finally surfaced on cd and has received some extremely satisfying notices. Chris Staehely would later join Jay Ferguson's band Jo Jo Gunne.

Al Staehely, already a lawyer at the time, went on to become a full time entertainment lawyer.
