Stewart was brought in to sing a few songs and one in particular, since Bentley had informed his bandmates that he didn't think his own voice was right for it. Recorded by [[John Peel]], "[[In a Broken Dream]]" and several other songs sung by Stewart sat on the shelf and languished until 1970 when [[Miki Dallon]] re-produced the track for his [[Youngblood]] label and released it. The single flopped on its release but Dallon persevered and re-released it in early 1972. The single rose to number three in the [[UK Singles Chart]] and #56 in the [[United States|U.S.]] [[Billboard Hot 100]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Rock File 3 Chartlog – Sources of British Hit Songs:Writers, American Hits and Original Versions |author=Gillett, Charlie & Frith, Simon |year=1975 |publisher=Panther |___location=St. Albans, Herts. |isbn=0-586-04261-X |page=126 }}</ref>
Following the recording of the songs with Stewart the group had continued to make sporadic live appearances and [[Time Out (company)|Time Out]] magazine advertised one show at the Bottleneck Club in the Railway Tavern, Stratford in London's East End on June 28, 1969. After a hiatus, during which the band members explored separate projects in the years from 1970 to 1972, David Bentley, Mick Liber, David Montgomery and Tony Cahill (bass) (who had played drums with [[The Easybeats]]) made some recordings in 1972 with English guitarist Gary Boyle. These tracks subsequently appeared on the band's only album (also titled "In A Broken Dream") alongside the earlier Rod Stewart recordings from 1969 resulting in the release of the song and the subsequent charting.
(Montgomery would also go on to briefly play drums for the [[United States|American]] band [[King Harvest]].)
