Jan Savage and Jeremy Levine with Rick Andridge completed the original , but Levine left shortly after the first recording sessions for personal reasons.

Saxon continued to use the name "The Seeds", using various backup musicians, at least through 1972; the last major-label records of new material by The Seeds—two non-charting singles on MGM records—were released in 1970.
