Witness was cut the same year and is another underrated album, from the plaintive ‘Ocean of Power through the soaring harmonies of ‘As Long As The World Keeps Turning’ to the muscular blues undertow of ‘Don’t Ever Stray Away’. Listen to the closing melodic sweep of the Wright/Kellie penned ‘Pyramids’ and you can almost feel the band pitching for the US market. Harrison adds: “I’m very proud of the music I made with Spooky Tooth. I think we were unique because the format of the band was so different.

There’s a redolent funky feel, a trademark classic organ sound and even a syrupy Garry Wright power-ballad ‘Kyle’, but by the time of its release the band had split up. It’s OK but it ain’t really the Tooth! Having alienated a lot of their core fans and having lost Gary Wright, 1970’s The Last Puff saw Mike Harrison, Mike Kellie and Luther Grosvenor team up with members of The Grease Band. The album features a stonking version of ‘I Am the Walrus”, which brought them unexpected airplay and which and introduced the band to a whole new set of fans. Sadly three months later they split. The Island Years is available as a nine-CD box set or an eight-LP collection. All of the albums feature rare bonus material and the anthology ends with a full concert from April 1972, recorded in Germany. In total, there is over 30 previously unreleased recordings. The band were originally known as Art, for a few months in 1967, when they released their sole album, ‘Supernatural Fairy Tales.’ They were then joined by American singer and songwriter Gary Wright, who went on to play with George Harrison on ‘All Things Must Pass’ and to great solo success, notably with songs such as ‘Dream Weaver’ and ‘Love Is Alive.’

Island were optimistic that Sunshine Help Me would be a hit.

Gancher, David (20 September 1969). "Records". Rolling Stone. No.42. San Francisco: Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. p.35. Gathering together eight studio albums plus a live set from ’73, various B-sides and radio sessions, this lavish box set argues that, far from being also-rans, Spooky Tooth were serious contenders who missed out on the breaks and thus the big time. Starting life as Art, their 1967 one-off release, Supernatural Fairy Tales is beat-combo infused psychedelia at which producer Guy Stevens throws everything but the multi-coloured kitchen sink, transforming heavyish pop songs into something more in keeping with the acid-saturated times, creating a truly glorious period piece.

Unfortunately, the band’s career took a hit with the release of ‘Ceremony.’ They had written the music and then handed it over to some avant-garde French experimental artist to do his stuff. The result was a disaster, with the experimental additions overpowering the Spooky Tooth album. This effectively torpedoed their career.
