Ashton, Gardner & Dyke - Ashton, Gardner And Dyke (1969)

Ashton, Gardner & Dyke - Ashton, Gardner And Dyke (1969)

Repertoire – REP 4565 WY (1997)

Something of a supergroup, Kim Gardner had been in The Birds and Creation prior to joining this band and Tony Ashton and Ron Dyke had been in The Remo Four. Their debut album lacked a certain amount of verve but was liberally laced with R&B influenced compositions and they scored an unexpected hit with the goodtime rock 'n' blues song Resurrection Shuffle in 1971.
