The Fourmyula : Alice Is There

"Between 1968 and 1971 when they disbanded, The Fourmyula had a string of hits unmatched by any other New Zealand group.
"They bucked the tradition of local bands covering overseas songs, insisting on recording their own material. One of these originals, ‘Nature’, composed by pianist/guitarist Wayne Mason, gave the group a No.1 hit and went on to be covered by numerous artists over the following decades - including a second hit version in 1993 by The Mutton Birds - eventually being voted the nation’s best song of the past 75 years in the 2001 APRA poll." (More details at www.audiocultu... )
The group initially consisted of Wayne Mason (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Martin Hope (guitar and vocals), Ali Richardson (bass and vocals), and Chris Parry (drums), who founded Fiction Records (UK) in 1978. They were joined in 1968 by Carl Evensen as lead vocalist.
Alice Is There was the band's second single, released in 1968 and reaching #4 on the New Zealand charts.
