Thunderclap Newman (1970) The Reason

 The one hit wonder group Thunderclap Newman, who were created and produced by Pete Townsend, had one of 1969's biggest hits with the revolution anthem 'Something in the Air' but only recorded one album; 1970's Hollywood Dream.  The Reason wasn't it's single but captures some of the feel of their previous hit with acoustic guitars, Speedy Keen's high vocals, Dixieland piano from their namesake Pianist, Andy Newman and an excellent 60's rock n roll guitar solo from future Wings guitarist Jimmy McCulloch.
