Previously known as The Shells. In 1968 the band released 'Never An Every Day Thing' on CBS and managed another flop.
'Springfield Park', did not think that the record represented them as a band and struggled to find a true identity. Each band member now had varying influences and musical visions. This is why the variety of demos were produced in an attempt to find a style in the changing world reflected in popular music.
The end result of the demos, through not finding a common direction, was the break up of the band, and each member went their individual ways. In the years following, each band member pursued a varying interest and involvement in the music industry, but the eventual needs of partners, wives and family, lead to each to choose less precarious occupations.
Nevertheless, in the words of the John Miles song, each of us can most certainly say ' music was my first love, and it will be my last'.
