Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the frst ever rock opera 'S.F. Sorrow'. They followed this with a string of albums in the 1970's which saw line ups changes \u0026amp; a frm following in the States.1972's 'Freeway Madness' is the sixth album by the band, recorded without founding member Dick Taylor \u0026amp; long-term bassist Wally Waller.
