About The Glass Menagerie
Artist Biography
After moving from their native Lancashire to seek commercial success in London, England, this psych pop quartet released a series of singles for Pye Records and Polydor Records without ever completing an album. Comprising Bill Atkinson (drums), John Medley (bass), Alan Kendall (guitar) and Lou Stonebridge (vocals/harmonica), the group made their debut in 1968 with the typically floral ‘She’s A Rainbow’. Two further singles followed for Pye in the same year, ‘You Don’t Have To Be So Nice’ and ‘Frederick Jordan’, but neither reached the charts. Transferring to Polydor in 1969, ‘Have You Forgotten Who You Are’ and ‘Do My Thing Myself’ failed to rectify their commercial misfortune. By now the group had adopted a heavier, progressive rock styled sound, which might have been better sampled on a full album release. However, despite the existence of an album acetate, Polydor declined to release it officially and the group broke up. Kendall subsequently joined Toe Fat, while Stonebridge worked with Paladin and McGuinness Flint.
