California

California is a 1971 EP released by rock group Duo in 1971. This was critically panned and a largely commercial failure.

Recording and release
California was intended to be a full record to be released a few years after Many Names, but that album's success prompted Stereophone Records executives to release follow-up material to ride on the band's newfound success. But, with concert tours and other compromises the band was unable to devote much time to this recording. Much of the songwriting was left to Edwin Graves and others, so the overall sound of the EP was markedly different from what the band would normally do. Pablo Gomez put his input into the lead tracks and was listed as a co-writer.
