The Iguana were a Melbourne group that formed from the Sands of Time and The Contours in 1967. They had four singles, plus an EP that combined two of their 45s. Their first single, ''Imagine This / Dreaming Away To Myself'' was produced by Pat Aulton on Festival’s four track. Their second single was a great version of The Fifth Dimension's ''California My Way'' which made the top ten in Melbourne and nationally at #36. The band toured throughout Victoria and interstate and appeared on TV. Peter Saunders was drafted into the Army and was replaced by Russell McGregor. The band seems to have broken up around 1969.

Did Iguana do "the lion sleps tonight"
ReplyDeleteNo they didn't. Dove (1976) and The Love Machine (1972) released it as a single.
