Apple were a British psychedelic rock band. The band was founded in Cardiff en 1968 by Rob Ingram on guitar and Jeff Harrad on bass. They released a single LP in 1969, titled An Apple a Day.

The album was a commercial failure, and the band ceased to exist shortly after its release. However, during the subsequent years several tracks from the LP, most notably “The Otherside” by Harrad, were dubbed classics of British psychedelic rock by critics, making An Apple a Day one of the most sought-after British psychedelic rarities.

The original vinyl version (released by Page One Records) is now extremely hard to find. A reissue by Repertoire Records was released in 1994, which included several bonus songs (those being early mono versions of some of the album’s tracks).

Apple came to Larry Page’s attention via their first single issued on Smash records, “Thank You Very Much”/”Your Heart Is Free Just Like The Wind” in early 1968. As a result, Page’s record label, Page One Records, released their sole LP, which is a fine mixture of psych pop and psychedelic, heavy r&b. Two singles preceded the LP’s release, “Let’s Take A Trip Down The Rhine” (Oct 1968) and “Doctor Rock” (Dec 1968). However, with little to no promotion for the record or the band, despite a colour brochure extolling the virtues of apples as supplied by the British Apple & Peau Development Council, the record didn’t sell. Despite having some of the finest British psych moments (i.e. “The Otherside”, “Buffalo Billycan”), only a limited number of copies were pressed. In result, it is listed as one of Record Collector’s Top 20 most collectable albums of all time. However, thanks to a 1994 reissue on CD by Repertoire Records, An Apple A Day has finally been able to reach a larger audience than when it was first released.
