1975 studio album by Mallard
Mallard is the eponymous debut by the group Mallard , who formed after tensions between them and Captain Beefheart exploded, causing them to leave his band (though the album's last track is a Beefheart composition). It was reissued as a CD with the band's other album, In a Different Climate , added on.
Mallard got their start with the help of Jethro Tull 's Ian Anderson : he lent them his mobile studio for their work (he is thanked in the liner notes ). Neither album achieved any sort of commercial success.
