Formed in Southend by Mickey Jupp, Legend are often regarded as the originators of the 'pub rock' sound.
They were also the first English group to feature on the Bell label.
Indeed, Cheque Book from their second album was later covered by premier 'pub rock' proponents Dr. Feelgood.
Bill Fifield departed to T Rex prior to the Moonshine album.
All three albums are now rare and quite sought-after

RECORD from VG (+) to VG++ (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG(+) (please, see pictures and read above description)
Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord
Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals.
Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit of a shock, as it's completely disassociated
with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer.
Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock & roll revival
of the late '70s and not even that similar to the country-rock of Eggs Over Easy or Bees Make Honey,
as this has little of the rustic feel of the Band.
Legend is a minor delight, one of the first flowerings of the pub rock sensibility....(AllMusic)
