They then collaborated with the owner of RSO Records, Robert Stigwood, and CEO Alex Corey, and got the band, still nameless, signed to a record deal. Based on these tracks alone, Lambert and Potter were quite impressed, but Haven Records had since then folded. It wasn't until the band played ' Baby Come Back' live in their office that Lambert and Potter's chins hit their chests, knowing the band had something unique. They then took the guys into the studio to record a few songs. Dennis and Brian were well known at the time for producing recording artist such as The Grassroots, The Four Tops, Dusty Springfield, Glenn Campbell, and The Righteous Brothers to name a few. They eventually ended up at the office of Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter , successful songwriters and owners of a new production company called Haven Records. The band's theory was that 'a demo tape can be thrown on a shelf and forgotten, where as a live band wouldn't fit.' The band was turned down many times when auditioning.

The chemistry was good enough for Beckett and Crowley to agree to the idea of organizing another band to play their own songs. They called themselves Riff Raff but later changed their name to Bandana and recorded a single called 'Jukebox Saturday Night'. In J.C.'s garage, they began working on their new material. Oddly enough, they both turned out to be singer/songwriters, and made plans to get together later and jam. Crowley, in 1977. They met by coincidence, both being the only two dressed in jeans and t-shirts, attending an all-white garb party in Hollywood. The original band began as a chance meeting between Peter Beckett and J.C.
