The band The End was formed in Surrey, England, in 1965 by Colin Giffin (g, sax, voc) and Dave Brown (b). With the support of Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, they secured a record deal with Decca. After several line-up changes, the band consisted of Nicky Graham (org, p, voc), Terry Taylor (g, voc) and Hugh Attwooll (dr) at the time of the recordings. These „introspection sessions“ at Decca Record Studios took place over a relatively long period, from September 1967 to June 1968. The debut album was actually supposed to be released in 1968. But for reasons unknown, it was held back for almost a year. In the fast-paced music scene of the late 1960s, that was a long time. When Decca finally released the LP in December 1969, this style of British psychedelia was not only out of fashion, but it also received no advertising or publicity from the record company. As a result, they were denied widespread success, the band broke up in 1970.

Their first and only album, featuring their poppy psychedelic rock produced by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, is an imaginative mix of dreamy, floating sounds, flowery but never kitschy pop and occasional rock elements. Today, it is considered one of the best examples of British psychedelia and is highly in demand not only in English but also as a German original version.
