When my dearest friend Carolyn Looker, Glen's lifelong partner, sent me this stuff about the band (circa second half of 1970) where Sweeney announced to "Melody Maker" the TEB would have changed its skin with a new electric, raga-rock oriented sound, I asked her to comment this creative phase of the band.

She replied me with her usual laconic and minimal style that "I can't think of anything positive to say regarding Glen's decision to
change direction of TEB as l was not at all enthusiastic on the idea.
For me the original acoustic group WAS alchemical and this got lost in
electricity".
Even if I know many TEB fans love the electric music with Denim Bridges on double-neck guitar and Paul Buckmaster on the electric bass, I agree with Carolyn because that magical, esoteric, alchemical mood was definitely lost.
So that's it.
