Home was formed by Cliff Williams and Laurie Wisefield in 1970 after
their first group together, 'Sugar', split. They teamed up with
guitarist and vocalist Mick Stubbs and drummer Mick Cook. They signed to
CBS Records in 1971 and released their first album, Pause for a Hoarse
Horse, in August. They started touring in November when they supported
Led Zeppelin at the second Electric Magic Show at the Wembley Empire
Pool. From then on, they opened for groups such as Argent, The Jeff Beck
Group, and The Faces. In September of the same year, they went into the
studio again to record the Home album. The LP reached number 41 in the
UK Albums Chart.
Home went on to support Mott the Hoople's UK tour at London's Rainbow Theatre on 14 & 15 October 1972. The NME wrote in their review of the show on 15 October that "Those who went to see Mott the Hoople that night came back talking about Home instead." In January 1973, they named them the fifth 'most promising new name' in their readers poll. In March, the group did two shows opening for glam rock band Slade at Empire pool Wembley . Then in July they released the concept album The Alchemist. The band said it was inspired by the novel Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwels. It was hailed by the Disc magazine as 'a work of genius' but did not make an impact commercially. After member Stubbs left the band, they toured the United States as a backing band for Al Stewart from May to June in 1974. A fourth Home album was recorded, but never released. After that the group split.
After the group disbanded in 1974, Cliff Williams went on to join Bandit from 1975 to 1977 before he replaced Mark Evans in Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Guitarist Laurie Wisefield went on to achieve success with the British band Wishbone Ash from 1974 to 1985. The record also featured Jimmy Anderson on keyboards. Though the album was loved by the critics, it did not sell well commercially.
