 The group disbanded later in 1968 and then, without Manley, formed the trio Ashton, Gardner and Dyke.This band recorded the track – now titled "As It Was in the First Place" and with Ashton credited as the sole writer – for their 1969 album "Ashton, Gardner and Dyke".The album received little attention, although the trio went on to enjoy chart success with their 1971 single "Resurrection Shuffle".
