Their debut eponymous album appeared in June 1971, which Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described as "adventurous, heavy, progressive blues-rock... Melouney's crunching, multi-layered Jimmy Page-styled guitar riffs kept the whole thing together.
[1] He secured a solo album deal with MCA Records in mid-1970 and wished to form a group to play material similar to Led Zeppelin.
There were a couple of ponderous, over-long tracks (like the 10-minute 'In a Room'), but Melouney's crunching, multi-layered Jimmy Page-styled guitar riffs kept the whole thing together.
"[1] David Nichols opined that they "played heavy, bluesy, progressive rock, and its members were instantly filled with a sense of their own perfection.
[2] However Fanny Adams had disbanded ahead of the album due to "ill-advised boasts of their imminent success... internal dissent and high audience expectations".
[3] Melouney was a member of a succession of groups during the 1970s: the Cleves, Rockwell T James and the Rhythm Aces, and John Paul Young's Allstars.
[1] In March 2023 Gil Mathews of Aztec Music issued an eleven-track remastered version of Fanny Adams (with four bonus tracks) on CD.
