Fourth, and as it turned out, the last studio album in the works of the group. At the height of his fame. Leslie Harvey's death from electric shock destroyed all the plans of the group. He died May 2, 1972 on the stage before the concert in Swansea's Top Rank Ballroom in front of the audience and the band. The album came out in 1972 have since Leslie died. All compositions sound of his guitar, and only on two tracks - Good Time Girl and Sunset Cowboy - played by 19-year-old guitarist Jimmy McCulloch (Jimmy McCulloch) - another graduate of the school of John Mayall, who (as expected) was replaced by Leslie Harvey. Before that was considered a possible successor who left Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green (Peter Green), but during rehearsals it became clear that Peter Green is unlikely to act. Unfortunately, Jimmy is also not caught on in the group. Other musicians are very highly appreciated him as a guitarist, but too much was kept Leslie Harvey and without work does not go well. Being the leader of the team and also a close friend of the other musicians, he was irreplaceable ... In addition, the group was in a very confused and smyatёnnom condition. The death of fellow musicians plunged into shock, change of suppression and depression. After some discussion, they came to the conclusion that without Leslie group can not, and should not exist, and it was decided that the Stone The Crows ceases to exist. Soon McCulloch proved to Paul McCartney as part of Wings (in 1979, he died of an overdose at age 26), Colin Allen moved to the Netherlands and became one of the members of the group Focus, Steve Thompson and Ronnie Leahy moved into the category of session musicians and Maggie Bell cheering Peter Grant, has decided to start a solo career ...
