Quatermass' only album is a must-have for prog rock enthusiasts,
especially lovers of the keyboard-dominated style which flourished in the early '70s.
Quatermass issued their lone LP on Harvest in 1970. Despite being regarded as a fine release by the label,
it didn't do much commercially, and the group broke up by the end of the following year.
Underwood later joined Strapps, another Harvest act that enjoyed a longer lifespan.
Both he and Gustafson eventually played with Ian Gillan at separate times,
and Gustafson also went on to play on the third, fourth, and fifth Roxy Music records.
Robinson also remained busy as a session musician...(AllMusic)
