Recording third album and band folds

On their return to the UK, they began recording their third album (produced by John Entwistle of the Who ), with the working title Music Breakout , in June 1974. However, Simon was unhappy with the recording and was replaced by Stuart Francis. Jones then decided to return to the States, selling one of Spedding’s guitars, which he stole, to pay for the flight. With Island Records not keen on the original master recordings for the third album, financial support was withdrawn and the band folded in October 1974. The album had an unofficial release in 2016, under the title Car Crash Tapes .
