Cymbal & Clinger - Cymbal & Clinger (1972)

By 1972, Cymbal and Clinger's writing success led Farrell to produce Cymbal and Clinger on an eponymous LP of their own material using the cream of studio musicians in the Los Angeles area, including: Hal Blaine, Tom Scott, Larry Carlton, Michael Omartian, Joe Osborn and the rest of the "A" team players. Singles from that effort failed to chart, and though John and Peggy toured to support the release, including one gig at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Sly and the Family Stone, the LP did little to enhance the career of either Cymbal or Clinger.

En 1972, le succès d'écriture de Cymbal et Clinger conduit Farrell à produire Cymbal et Clinger sur un LP éponyme de leur propre matériel en utilisant la crème des musiciens de studio dans la région de Los Angeles, y compris: Hal Blaine, Larry Carlton, Michael Omartian, Joe Osborn et le reste des joueurs de l'équipe "A". Malgré le fait que John et Peggy aient fait une tournée pour soutenir la sortie, incluant un concert à l'ouverture du Hollywood Bowl pour Sly et la Family Stone, le LP n'a pas vraiment amélioré la carrière de Cymbal ou de Clinger.
