TWO MAN BAND

This is the 3rd released Splinter album and the first distributed by Warner Brothers Records.
George Harrison hired songwriter Parker McGee (who'd written some hits for England Dan & John Ford Coley) to write some hits for Splinter on this album, but the singles ("Round & Round" and "Motions Of Love") still went nowhere in the charts. Despite this, "Round & Round" is still one of their best singles.
