Seventy Sevens: Mercy Mercy U.S. 7-inch

 

Mary Neely had a syndicated radio program. In meeting with the bands she showcased on her show, they developed a recording studio . Cash Boxreported her as saying, "I think we are all drawn together by a certain desire to communicate above the belt. A lot of rock music appeals to the more elemental nature, and I'd say that we are united in trying to write about things that are perhaps a little less basic. We are reaching for things a little more ehterieal, yet at the same time commercially accessible."
