Club band, The Alan Bown Set, were one of many British beat acts to find that the emergence of psychedelia had rendered the fingerpoppin', footstompin'. handclappin' soul revue mentality uncool almost overnight. Undaunted, they soaked up the new sounds, invested in kaftans and wrote a batch of songs inspired by the arrival of the Aquarian Age - or, at the very least, the arrival of The Bee Gees. In October 1967, they re-emerged as flower power pop merchants, The Alan Bown! with the single 'Toyland'.
