Peel heard the band's debut album M144 in 1969 and after seeing them perform, was quoted as writing on an article that it was the best live band he had seen.[1] Immediately the band were signed to Dandelion Records for distribution in the UK. Peel even co-produced the band's 2nd album, Burnin Red Ivanhoe, with Tony Reeves under the name of Eddie Lee Beppeaux. After Dandelion Records folded and the group split, Peel rarely played the band's material, even lesser when punk emerged in the late 70's.
