Mud were one of the most stable hitmakers on the UK Singles Chart for about two and a half years in the mid-1970s. They had been together for several years, having formed in Carshalton, South London in the mid-1960s when vocalist Les Gray and drummer/vocalist Dave Mount, who were in different local bands, decided to form a new band, Mud. They recruited two more local musicians, Ray Stiles (bass, vocals) and lead guitarist/vocalist Rob Davis, and began playing in London around 1966, earning the attention of CBS Records. However, their first two singles, "Flower Power" (1966) and "Up The Airy Mountain" (1968), flopped. In 1969/70 they released a couple more singles which also failed to chart. Over the next few years, they continued to perform regularly, which undoubtedly helped refine their stage show through the experience gained from interacting with the public.
