After tasting success in 1968 with the single I Can’t Let Maggie Go, Honeybus founder Pete Dello left the band after only one album to pursue a more settled lifestyle. His distaste for the rigors of touring left him with a surplus of un-recorded material that would eventually steer him back into the studio to record his first and only solo album Into Your Ears.

Pete Dello himself writes about this in his liner notes: „The L.P. is a bit of an experiment for me because I am not really working in the 'pop' field any more. You see, I parted from the Honeybus after 'I Can’t Let Maggie Go' and was left with a great pile of songs on my hands. My manager, Terry, thought that it might be a good idea to put them onto an album and I finally agreed with him as it seemed that I'd never write another song until I had all these working for themselves. Some of them have already been recorded by groups such as Lace, Magic Valley and the Honeybus. Oh well, see what you think of them.“

It features 14 Baroque Pop songs, each under three-and-a-half minutes long, that prosper through a winning combination of goofy psychedelia and Beatlesque beauty. It was released on the tiny and sought-after Nepentha label which was founded by UK record producer Larry Page. And the beautiful cover artwork once again showcases the genius of Roger Dean.
