Unfortunately the music was disappointing; only the Buddy Miles-influenced 'You're My Girl (I Don't Want To Discuss It)' and their 'greatest hit', the instrumental 'Apricot Brandy", stood out. The BBC adopted the latter as a Radio 1 theme. Two more albums followed, but by now the ponderous Rhinoceros had turned into a dodo. • ALBUMS: Rhinoceros (Elektra 1968) ...
