In 1971 Wilson had to replace Mike Waller (when he left because he wanted to play guitar) and so two new members (Wullie Davidson who performed on vocals, harmonica and flute, and Donald MacLachlan who played guitar) were recruited by Wilson and this changed the sound of the band to a more structured twin harmony guitar direction. However, in October 1971 when new recording sessions were looming, Donald MacLachlan was asked to leave the band as Jimmy Ronnie was unhappy with his presence in the band. After the recording sessions, drummer Ian McDougall left in May 1972 and was replaced by Neil Cockayne. The group finally broke up in April 1974. In 1993 Iron Claw performed one reunion show for charity. In the late 1990s a German “bootleg” CD of some of the early recordings surfaced. In 2009 sixteen recorded songs from the early 1970s were remastered from the original Alex Wilson master tapes and officially released on CD by Rockadrome Records.
