Space Farm were formed by Harvey Mann (Underdogs, Ticket) and Glen Absalom (ex-Underdogs) with bass player Billy Williams. They started out as 'The Australasian Rock Squad' and recorded one eponymous album in 1972 which 'Space Farm' is taken from. A great outfit playing hard rock / power trio sounds. The full line-Up was Glen Absolum (Drums), Harvey Mann (Guitar), Billy Williams (Bass Guitar) and Bob Gillett (Saxophone). In February 1971, when the Underdogs, whom at that time consisted of Harvey Mann, Glen Absolum and Neil Edwards, released their "Wasting My Time" album, and it failed to sell in great numbers, Neil Edwards decided to leave the group and join Human Instinct. Harvey and Glen added a new bass guitarist, Billy Williams, and to beef up the sound, Bob Gillett was added on saxophone. Also required was a new name, so they became the Australasian Rock Squad. Bob Gillett had been playing with Breeze prior to joining. Billy Williams came from Classic Affair. In September 1971, Gillett decided to become a part-time member of the group, so they rechristened themselves Space Farm.
