From Alliance, Ohio, Morly Grey were a psychedelic rock band featuring Tim & Mark Roller (guitar and bass respectively), Paul Cassidy (Drums), and Randy Byron formerly of the Comin' Generation on guitar, but was not in the band for long. During the recording sessions Cassidy was not able to perform so Bob LaNave was brought in on drums. Each side of the lP was recorded at different studios with different drummers. "The only Truth" was released in 1972 (some magazines & collectors guides have the wrong date of release as 1969) the confusion may come from the albums catalog number bein 69000. Prior to the album, the band released a very rare self-released 45 called "Sleepy Softness" which is much lighter. (The b-side is the song played backwards). The albums first single was "Who can I Say You Are?, most copies of this pressing incorrectly list the title of the album "The First Supper"
Original copies of this album are in the high three digits. The album is strong all the way through and initially came wit a poster. BEWARE this LP has been counterfeited!!
In the 1980's Starshine records owner Floyd phillips released two outtakes on a 45.
