The Dog That Bit People, an English four-piece from Birmingham, was the follower band of Locomotive. After the breakup of the prior outfit bassist Mick Hincks and drummer Bob Lamb were looking for new musicians to form a new band. They found keyboard / guitar player Keith Millar and guitarist John Caswell. The somewhat bizarre name The Dog That Bit People is a title of a short story, written by American humorist and author James Thurber in 1933. This line-up released this self-titled album on Parlophone in 1971.
Despite the support from Producer Jim Simpson, a West Midlands rock mogul who also managed Black Sabbath and engineer Peter Vince, who worked with The Hollies, Donovan etc., the album sank without a trace and therefore they disbanded in late 1971. Today the original UK press is one of the rarest items on this label.
