Knocker Jungle — Knocker Jungle 1970 (UK, Psychedelic, Folk Rock)
British hippie folk duo Keith Jones and Tony Coop recorded their only album in 1970. Only a few copies were sold. By the time of its release, the duo had already broken up. The duo's contributions to the album included drummer Dave Mattacks (later of The Ashley Hutchings All Star, The GP's, Septpiece, and Troy-Mattacks and Brown), bassist Dave Pegg (ex-The Exception, Dave Peace Quartet, and Fairport Convention), keyboardist Phil Pickett (a founding member of Sailor in 1973 and a member of The Albion Band from 1977 to 1979), and Tony Cox (formerly known for his work with The Young Idea, who later appeared on Yes's Time And A Word and produced Magna Carta's Lord Of The Ages).Only a few copies were sold of this 1970 LP by the Knocker Jungle. At the time of the release, the duo had already split, and the shops didn’t take it, perhaps also because of a photograph with a finger gesture by one of the members. The problem now was that almost no information could be found about the duo, Tony Coop and Keith Jones.
The participants surely made it look interesting. Involved were Dave Mattacks on drums (of folkrock band Fairport Convention), Phil Pickett on keyboards (of Sailor fame ; -not to confuse with Philip Picket from Albion Band-), and with no less than Tony Cox producing (at that time of Magna Carta and Tir Na Nog, besides he also had produced records later from Family, Caravan, Gringo, Françoise Hardy,…)
