It was also the fifth (and technically the last) in the line of groups that featured Ross "The Boss" Wilson and Ross Hannaford, which began with Pink Finks in 1965. Despite its all-star lineup, culled from three of the top groups of the time, the band was shortlived and never really achieved its considerable potential, effectively relegated to being a footnote in the larger story of Daddy Cool. The main relic of this period was their excellent (and greatly underrated) LP All I Wanna Do Is Rock. The formative stages of the new group (late '72 - early '73) promised much, and involved several notable players of the day. After Company Caine broke up in October '72, not long after Daddy Cool, singer/lyricist Gulliver Smith linked with the two Rosses. They worked for several months on getting a new band together, but Gulliver moved on to launch his solo career at the end '72, although the Smith/Smith writing partnegsubip left its mark with two fine songs which eventually wound up on the LP. At the start of 1973 there was another promising connection when Hannaford & Wilson got together with guitarist Tim Gaze (Tamam Shud, Kahvas Jute) and drummer Nigel Macara (Tamam Shud), but after about a month of rehearsals Gaze and Macara left. Gaze's place was taken by Company Caine guitarist Russell Smith, who had been off playing in the touring version of G.Wayne Thomas' studio "supergroup" Duck. For a new drummer, Hannaford & Wilson turned to the multi-talented Ray Arnott, who announced in March that he was leaving his current gig with Spectrum to join the new band (which also reunited him with Russell Smith, his former bandmate from the last days of Cam-Pact and the early Company Caine). Unfortunately, Arnott's departure triggered the break up of Spectrum -- founder Mike Rudd felt that it wouldn't be possible recruit a new member and maintain Spectrum's special chemistry. Spectrum played their farewell concert in mid-April and Arnott was then freed to join the new group; in a neat piece of symmetry, Gaze and Macara hitched up with the remaining members of Spectrum to form Ariel. With the final addition of bassist Tim Partridge (also ex-Company Caine) the new band was complete and was launched in May 1973 under the name Mighty Kong. Regrettably the group never really gelled, and Wilson has commented in recent times that it lacked the chemistry that made Daddy Cool such a successful group. Mighty Kong had already split up by the time the album and its accompanying single, "Callin' All Cats" / "Hard Drugs (Are Bad For You)" were released in December 1973, but without a band to promote them, the records made no impression on the charts.
