[1] After playing together in the Kinning Park Ramblers, their next band Power was renamed Stone the Crows (after a British/Australian English exclamation of surprise or shock) by Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant.

London had also managed the predecessor band Cartoone, in which Peter Grant had a financial interest and featured Les Harvey on guitar.

[1] Guitarist and co-founder Les Harvey was electrocuted onstage in front of a live audience at Swansea's Top Rank Suite in May 1972.

Bandmates who tried to rescue him reportedly got shocked themselves and it wasn't until someone kicked his guitar away[7] that medical personnel were able to render aid.

[1][9] Stone the Crows ultimately broke up in June 1973,[1] and Peter Grant continued to manage Maggie Bell's career.
