[7][8] Like The Tomcats, Second Thoughts also broke up in 1965, with singer Patrick Campbell-Lyons departing to form the psychedelic rock band Nirvana with Alex Spyropoulos.
[8] Soon after, a new line-up of The Tomcats came together, featuring members of the original band and ex-members of Second Thoughts: Newman on vocals, Duhig on guitar, Field on flute/keyboards, James on bass, and Jackson on drums.
[1][3][7] After returning to London, Newman and his friend Pete Cook (who had been in the first line-up of The Tomcats)[8] began writing new material for the group that was less R&B influenced and more psychedelic in nature.

[1][3] In addition, songs by July have appeared on a number of various artists compilations, including The British Psychedelic Trip, Vol.
