***********************************************************
Formed 1971 in Vienna/Austria as a trio this is their 1st single reaching national airplay specially after they reached the 1st place at the Show Chance in 1972 with the instrumental "Movie Star" that was also filmed.

Due tour obligations Staeger here was replaced by Chris van der Schyf who later played in The Milestones (1973/74).
Beside several singles ACID released 3 albums between 1974 and 1978 adding several guitarists to the lineup and broke up in 1980.
2014 saw a reunion, since then the band plays occasionally shows up today.
Instrumentally top notch IMHO they never gained international success because of a weak lead singer. Unable to find a charismatic vocalist with a distinct voice Novacek handled the lead vocals thru all band incarnations.
