Jody Grind's personnel changed substantially between the recording of their first album, 1969's One Step On, 

and their second and final one, 1970s Far Canal. Tim Hinkley was still on keyboards, but there was a new guitarist, 

Bernie Holland (who also did some singing), as well as a new drummer to complete the trio, Pete Gavin. 

As expected, the sound of the group, while still in the early British serious progressive rock bag, 

changed as well -- sometimes for the good, sometimes for the worse. 

The jazzy inclinations of the debut were mostly gone, save the atypically tasteful instrumental 

"Ballad for Bridget." On "We've Had It" and parts of "Vegetable Oblivion," there was a classical melodic influence 

that was more accessible than anything on the first album, as well as somewhat more in line with 

what groups such as Yes were doing, though Jody Grind were far less cheerful. "Bath Sister," however, 

could have been the work of an entirely different band, sounding as

 if they were trying to imitate Cream with an organ-guitar-drums lineup...(AllMusic)
