They were terrific. Ahmet Ertegun liked the record. They put it out, and it made some noise here, but it did not do a lot. That was really all I did with them. I did a bunch of other tracks, in fact Nicky Hopkins sat in, he played piano. We did a couple of jam sessions with Goldie on organ and Nicky on piano, and we had some nice blues jams, just for fun. They were a very good band, the only girl band I've ever heard that I thought really played ballsy music”.	Not available
