Kenny Pickett - vocals (born September 3rd 1947, died January 10th 1997) Eddie Phillips - lead guitar (born August 15th 1945) Bob Garner - bass guitar Jack Jones - drums The first line-up of this group from Cheshunt, Hertfordshire was called The Mark Four and consisted of Pickett, Phillips and Jones with John Dalton on bass guitar. They built up a good following on the mod circuit and released four singles between '64 and early '66 before losing bassist Dalton to The Kinks. The change of name occurred when Garner was recruited as Dalton's replacement. Aurally similar to The Who with whom they shared a producer (Shel Talmy), they had two minor hits in the UK but were always more popular in Europe (where they released two albums) than in their home country. An innovative group (guitarist Eddie Phillips was the first to play his instrument with a violin bow), who were also excellent live performers, they toured with The Rolling Stones and The Kinks. Ronnie Wood replaced Phillips shortly before the band's demise in 1968.
