In 1973, the band proposed touring with Roger Ruskin Spear , the Flying Aces and Vivian “Spiv” Morris, in a vaudeville show called “Happy Days”, which was to be held in a circus tent. They started recording material for this in January, but Burton was unhappy with the proposed theatrical tour, so he left. Whaley returned and the band started recording their new album in February, finishing the Happy Days album in March and the Helps album in April, when they also recorded their second Peel Session. After a two-month “Happy Days” tour, the fourth album, The Return of Ken Whaley , was released, with the Happy Days album included free with the first 5,000 copies.
