• "Ford Theatre is the place where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and the liner notes explain that “the six musicians chose this name because it corresponds to what they are trying to create - a vision of America in all its present chaos and agony”. (FAF)
• "The group was probably from Milford, Massachusetts, given that their first album gives a credit to ‘the population’ of that town. Produced by Bob Thiele (Eden’s Children, Free Spirits), Harry Palmer and Fred Cenedella, Trilogy For The Masses is excellent in parts, particularly the nine-minute 101 Harrison Street. Much of the music is heavy psych with orchestration, swirling keyboards, some great raga fuzz guitar and long instrumental passages. All the tracks were written by Harry Palmer" (FAF)
