The band's follow-up album, "Shine On Brightly" was released the following year and saw a greater excursion into progressive rock stylings. Their third album, "A Salty Dog" (1969), was very popular among fans and their first album to sell well in the UK. The title track in particular gained a good deal of US FM radio airplay, and the album is now considered a rock classic, appealing to fans of The Beatles, The Moody Blues and Pink Floyd. However, one noted US writer previewed the LP and the story ran in print as "A Salty Duck".
