Help Yourself, Ernie Graham (vocals, guitar) and his guitarist

Help Yourself, Ernie Graham (vocals, guitar) and his guitarist Jonathan “Jojo” Glemser, moved into Headley Grange in 1971, shortly after Led Zeppelin IV had been recorded there. The line-up was amalgamated to include both Graham (who had just released his eponymous solo album backed by Help Yourself and Brinsley Schwarz) and Glemser, both of whom were guitarists, so Treece switched to bass. The band played the 1971 Glastonbury Festival . “Street Songs”, from their first album, was issued on a United Artists double album sampler All Good Clean Fun . A tour was arranged to promote this album, so Help Yourself joined Man and Leicester band Gypsy, on a tour of Switzerland. The second album Strange Affair was recorded at Rockfield Studios, initially with Richard Treece still on bass, and adding his guitar parts later, until Paul Burton, their then Road Manager and former Sam Apple Pie roadie, joined on bass, guitar and vocals, to complete the album. Strange Affair was released in early 1972, by which time both Graham and Glemser had also departed.
