The British psych-pop outfit known as Orange Bicycle evolved from a Beat group, Robb Storme & the Whispers, also known as the Robb Storme Group. They had recorded a handful of harmony pop singles for Pye, Piccadilly, Decca, and Columbia Records during the early '60s, but with little success. In 1966, the Robb Storme Group covered the Beach Boys' 'Here Today.' It was arranged by the band's own multi-talented keyboardist/producer Wilson Malone and produced by Morgan Music's co-owner Monty Babson at Morgan Studios in the Willesdon area of London. With psychedelic music at its zenith, the group decided to change its name change and, in 1967, re-emerged as Orange Bicycle. Over the next few years, they released a half-dozen singles; their first single — 'Hyacinth Threads' — remains the band's best-known track, appearing on numerous compilations. In late August/early September 1968, Orange Bicycle — wearing matching black and orange suits — performed at the Isle of Wight music festival, reportedly covering songs by Love and the Rolling Stones. In 1970, Orange Bicycle recorded its only album, The Orange Bicycle. It was comprised largely of covers, including Elton John's 'Take Me to the Pilot,' Bob Dylan's 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You,' and Denny Laine's 'Say You Don't Mind.' A few tracks were produced by John Peel. Psychedelic pop music, however, was on the wane, or transmogrifying into heavier prog or hard rock, so the group decided to call it a day, breaking up in 1971.
