KGB

This ill-starred supergroup was formed in 1975 throughout the talents of former Electric Flag colleagues Barry Goldberg (keyboards) and Mike Bloomfield (guitar). Ray Kennedy (vocals), Ric Grech (bass, ex-Family; Blind Beliefs; Visitors) and Carmine Appice (drums, ex-Vanilla Fudge; Beck, Bogert And Appice) finished a stellar line-up, sketching its punning appellation in the initials from the best participants. The organization was doomed at its inception when Bloomfield refused to take a flight to LA to record – his efforts were overdubbed within a Sausalito studio room – and eventually greeted the record’s discharge with an interview towards the Los Angeles Situations where he disowned the task, admitting his motivations had been purely economic. KGB, not really unnaturally, imploded, abandoning an unspectacular established significant for the addition of ‘Sail On Sailor’ (originally documented by the Seaside Young boys on Holland). Minus Bloomfield and Grech, the rest of the people released another sub-standard record before mercifully tugging the plug for the enterprise.
