After touring with Boz Scaggs and Steve Miller in 1973-74, Miller asked Les to join his band so Les moved to California. He formed Polar Bear with members of the Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs bands. They did some demos for Warner Brothers who passed.
Les was then invited to the first Journey rehearsal to audition. On the same day, he was offered a solo contract by Columbia Records and he chose Columbia.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and information about these tracks. I didn't know the story.
Greetings from French West Coast (yes we have one :)
Holy Smokes - his self-titled Columbia debut Lp was/is outstanding! He also played with the Allman Brothers on the Brothers & Sisters Lp, if my memory serves me correctly.
