Cartoone's sole, self-titled album is more known as a footnote in the late-'60s career of Jimmy Page. Page contributed guitar to the record as a session man - though his work is neither too prominent nor too similar to what he was getting ready to do in Led Zeppelin - and Cartoone opened for Led Zeppelin at some shows in the U.S. in early 1969, probably because of the Page association and a shared label (Atlantic Records).
The four piece band consisted of lead vocalist/bassist Derek Creigan, Charlie Coffils on drums, lead guitarist Mike Allison, and guitarist Mo Trowers. Creigan's voice is impeccable throughout like those written by more established bands of that era. Sadly, the album has been out of print for over four decades, as the band more or less faded into obscurity after a nice run up the charts worldwide…
