Despite the collaborative effort to complete the song, the songwriting credit was left solely with Spence.<ref name="Larkin"/> After a tour of the UK and the Netherlands in February 1969 as a four piece, Bob Mosley left the group, shocking the remaining members by joining the Marines.<ref>It was during basic training with the Marines that Bob Mosley was first diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. He was discharged from the Marines nine months after basic training. See [{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p19444/biography|pure_url=yes}} Profile of Bob Mosley] by Steve Leggett, www.allmusic.com.</ref> The remaining three released their final album for Columbia, ''[[Truly Fine Citizen]]'', in late 1969, with session bassist [[Bob Moore (musician)|Bob Moore]] filling in for the departed Mosley during the sessions for the album.
