In the 1970s, Neil Ardley had Cutler sing on his album "A Symphony of Amaranths" (1971), and former-Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt asked Cutler to play harmonium and sing on two of the tracks on his album "Rock Bottom" (1974). The collaboration with Wyatt led to Cutler being signed to Wyatt's record label Virgin Records, for whom Cutler recorded three LPs in the mid-1970s: "Dandruff" (1974), "Velvet Donkey" (1975) and "Jammy Smears" (1976). Each of these discs intersperses Cutler's poems and songs with readings by his performing companion Phyllis King. Wyatt would later cover Cutler's song "Go and Sit upon the Grass".
