As you may or may not know, Tony Hill formed the seminal (now) cult psychedelic/jazz/prog/hard rock band High Tide back in 1969 after playing with David Jones (Bowie) in a band called Torquoise. Tony left after about 9 months and formed High Tide with Simon House (violin), Pete Pavli (bass) and Roger Hadden (drums). The main problem with High Tide was they were a bit before their time and it seems that the world wasn't quite ready for the fuzz drenched, guitar 'n' violin progressesive onslaught that High Tide produced. But Tony's career goes back a little further than that....
His first band to release a single was The Answers in 1964 which Tony wrote
(Just a fear) and has become a freak-beat classic among collectors. Tony went
onto join U.S. garage noise merchants The Misunderstood who under different
circumstances could of been huge. The band also featured Glen Ross Campbell who
went on to form Jucy Lucy. Due to legal problems and other members of the band
being drafted into the U.S. army, the band fell apart.
