T2
evolved from an earlier band, Neon Pearl, which was led by their
drummer, Pete Dunton. Dunton was by 1968 a member of Please, which also
included fellow Neon Pearl member Bernard Jinks. When that band broke up
in 1969, due to Dunton's joining Gun alongside Adrian Gurvitz, Jinks
became a member of Bulldog Breed.
T2 was formed when Dunton reunited
with bassist Jinks and late period Bulldog Breed guitarist, Keith Cross.
The trio played a form of psychedelic or proto-prog rock, which was
similar in content to that played by the earlier bands its members had
been in. T2 were formed and managed by John Morphew, who had previously
managed Bulldog Breed; he financed the formation and successfully signed
them to Decca for the then enormous sum of ?10,000 in advance
royalties. However, internal strife caused Morphew to give up on T2 and
leave them to their own devices.
After recording their debut album,
It'll All Work Out in Boomland, T2 played a series of successful dates,
including an appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970, write-ups
for which likened Cross to a new Eric Clapton. They did a spot on BBC 2
and then returned to the studio to begin work on their follow-up.
However, the number of LPs pressed was limited and associated publicity
was poor; hence, finding a copy in a record shop was difficult. In 1972,
while recording material for their second album, T2 disbanded due to
internal conflict. The breakup caused the unfinished album to be shelved
until the early 1990s.
It'll All Work Out in Boomland was issued on
CD by the German label World Wide Records, remastered from the original
recording tapes. However, apparently both the original mix down
information and the original mix down tapes had been lost, and as a
result there are minor aural differences between the LP and CD versions.
A South Korean label issued the album on CD, but this was suspected to
have been copied from an original vinyl pressing. The CD issue sparked a
brief T2 reunion, but without Keith Cross, who was the band's breakout
star. The band now consisted of Dunton, Jinks and Moore. T2 released
Second Bite (1992), Waiting For The Band (1993) and On The Frontline
(1994). By the time Waiting For The Band was released, Jinks had left T2
and Moore had shifted to bass to accommodate their new guitarist, Ray
Lee.
In 1992, the Swedish neo-prog band Landberk covered "No More
White Horses" on their album Lonely Land. Decca Records released the box
sets Legend of a Mind (2003) and Strange Pleasures (2008). Each
included a remastered track from It'll All Work Out in Boomland,
respectively "No More White Horses" and "JLT".
Concurrent with the
reformation of T2, an album of acetate demos recorded in 1970 was
released in 1997. Known initially as Fantasy and later issued simply as
T2 or 1970, this album featured material written by the original lineup
after the release of It'll All Work Out In Boomland. In 2012, a third
album of demos entitled 1971-1972 was released by Acme Records,
compiling material written and recorded by Dunton and a further
succession of musicians, after Cross and Jinks had departed the lineup.
Drummer and vocalist Peter Dunton died of brain cancer on January 20, 2022.
