Notes: Wright had been in Spooky Tooth, leaving the band in Jan 1970 for a solo career. Wright had co-produced Steve Gibbons' Short Stories, which had included contributions from White, McCracken, Burton (of The Move), Troy and Bell.

Wright's first album, Extraction (A&M Records), was released in 1970 with Spooky Tooth drummer Mike Kellie and Andy Johns, who had engineered for the band. Another notable performer on the album is Abrahams of Jethro Tull and Blodwyn Pig. (1) was issued as a single. Wright then played on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, also with White and Voormann.

Wright formed the band Wonderwheel in Apr 1971 with Jerry Donahue among others. Donahue then played on Footprint (1 Nov 71 US, 21 Jan 72 UK)) along with Voormann and White from the first album and many of the performers from All Things Must Pass, including Harrison, Gordon, Keys and Price. Wright has said that Harrison produced part of the album, including (11) and (14). Singles from the album were (14), released 28 May 71 (UK), b/w non-album "Can't See the Reason"; (15), released 30 Nov 71, b/w (12); and (11), released May 72.

Full credits of who performed on which tracks are not available, but White was the main drummer on Footprint. (14) was performed by Wright, Gordon (drums), Keltner (drums), Donahue (percussion), Allen (percussion), Harrison (guitars), McCracken (guitars), Voormann (bass), White (harpsichord) and Troy/Bell/Newman/Arnold (backing vocals). We also know Keltner played drums on (10) and McCracken played guitar on (15).

Neither album was particularly commercially successful and Wright re-joined Spook Tooth. He struck the big time when his 1975 solo album The Dream Weaver made the US top ten. (HP, 23 Jul 16)
