[8][9] According to Alan Kilburn in the 28 November 1970 issue of Melody Maker, the group was grossly underrated in England but big on the continent.
Negram Records man Evert Wilbrink and Class International director Rod Harrod organized the reception.
At the time the lineup was Les Walker, David Pepper, Alan Solomon, Terry Comer, John Surguy, and Paul Carrack.
[3] It was reported in the 20 June 1970 issue of Disc and Music Echo that Warm Dust's drummer Dave Pepper had been replaced by Keith Bailey who had previously been with Grham Bond.
[14] According to the 25 July 1970 issue of Melody Maker (released on a Thursday), Warm Dust had just completed a five-day tour of Germany which had ended the day before.
[4] Along with The Who, Pentangle, Fairport Convention, Alan Price, Graham Bond, Alexis Korner and others, Warm Dust were booked to appear at the Yorkshire Folk, Blues and Jazz Festival that ran from the 14th to 15 August.
[18] The 28 November issue of Melody Maker had a short review of a Fleetwood Mac concert with a good deal of it being about Warm Dust who opened for them.
Kilburn said that Warm Dust opened the show with some interesting sounds and an unusual feature on some numbers with two organs being used.
It received 7 for musikalische bewertung (musical rating), 7 for repertoirewert (repertoire value), 8 for aufnahme-, klangqualität (recording and sound quality), and 7 for oberfläche (surface).
[5] On 16 April 1971 the band met Pope Paul VI in Vatican City, who was "startled" when Bedson asked why the Catholic Church didn't ban war.
[26] Warm Dust were supposed to appear on Radio One's Speak Easy Show and meet and take part in a discussion with the Archbishop of Canterbury on 2 May.
The reason given for the Warm Dust no-show was that they were in the middle of an extensive European tour, and on the night in question they would be playing a German concert.
They actually wanted the archbishop to answer the questions that they asked the Pope about why religious leaders weren't using their powers to stop war.
On that Day, Arthur Brown, Daddy Loglegs, Bell & Arc, Ricotti/Albuquerque, Armada, Accrington Stanley and Anno Domini were also booked to appear.
[29] It was reported in the July 1971 issue of Beat Instrumental that Warm Dust were recording a very overdue single at De Lane Lea studios under the direction of Del Lawrence.
[35] This event had actually happened some time earlier (April) and the group appeared on the front pages of various news papers around the world.
[38] It was through a mutual friend Tony Gomez that Keith Bailey, along with Chris Francis, Frank Robert met Jim Dvorak to form the group Joy.
[39] Paul Carrack said in a 1982 interview with Scott MacCaughey of The Rocket that with Warm Dust, it was the be be-all and end-all and that they were on the road permanently and never had any money.
