The first band from the Channel Island of Jersey (between France and the UK) to be signed by major UK label Decca. For their progressive sub-label DeramThe Parlour Band recorded their debut album in 1972. The five-piece outfit consisted of Craig Anders (g, voc), Peter Filleul (keyb, g, voc), Pix Pickford (voc), Mark Anders (b, voc) and Jerry Robins (dr). With melodic progressive rock, vocal group harmonies and great melodies they toured extensively as the support act to bands like Caravan. Despite the excellence of their sole LP, they failed to make a commercial impression. But didn't split, instead they changed their name to „A band called O" and made a more commercial and pop/funk oriented music.
They left behind a UK prog masterpiece which is now very rare and sought-after.
