Dave Edmunds guitar/vocals, John Williams bass, Bob Kongos Jones drums

Love Sculpture was formed out of the Cardiff band The Human Beans in 1968. This band released a single Morning Dew, the Tim Rose song. The band s first single was River to Another Day which was soon followed by a very fast version of Khachaturian s Sabre Dance. The latter entered the top ten in December 1968. Two albums were released on Polydor, Blues Helping and Forms and Feelings. These showcased the band s blues style, of which the hit single was not representative. The first album was a collection of high energy blues covers in the main. The blues standards were given a different sound by Edmunds' electric guitar work.

Forms and Feelings was issued in 1970. This was more experimental with classical music themes. Edmunds admitted that the LP lacked a clear direction.

There were a number of further singles including the superb, psychedelic In the Land of the Few. However, the band split shortly after a US tour. Dave Edmunds has had a highly successful career both as a solo artist and as part of Rockpile. His hits have included I Hear You Knocking and Girls Talk. A "Best of" The Many Sides of Dave Edmunds was issued in 2008 including a version of Sabre Dance.
