Love Sculpture, a Welsh blues rock band, was founded in Cardiff, Wales, in 1966. The group consisted of Dave Edmunds on lead vocals and guitar, John David on bass and backing vocals, and Rob "Congo" Jones on drums and percussion. Love Sculpture began their career performing blues standards with a slight rock edge. Their debut album Blues Helping included notable tracks such as "Summertime" and "Wang Dang Doodle." The band achieved significant chart success in 1968 with a high-speed cover version of Aram Khachaturian's classical piece "Sabre Dance", which reached Number 5 on the UK Singles Chart. This recording, inspired by Keith Emerson’s classical rearrangements, became a hit after receiving airplay from British DJ John Peel. In December 1968, Love Sculpture signed a US recording contract with London Records and were invited to perform "Sabre Dance" live on the German Beat-Club television program. Their second album Forms and Feelings featured additional notable songs such as "In The Land of the Few", "Farandole", "People People", and "You Can't Catch Me." The band also recorded for BBC Radio 1's John Peel sessions in 1968 and 1969. In 1970, Mickey Gee joined as a second guitarist, and Terry Williams replaced Rob Jones on drums. Love Sculpture disbanded in 1970 following a US tour, having released only two albums.
