Delivery represents a critical nexus point in the evolution of British progressive music, specifically the Canterbury Scene. Formed in 1966 as Bruno's Blues Band, the group evolved under the leadership of Steve and Phil Miller into a sophisticated unit that blended blues-rock with jazz-fusion elements.
Their primary historical contribution is serving as the launching pad for several influential musicians, including Pip Pyle and Phil Miller, who would later form Matching Mole and Hatfield and the North. Their sound identity is defined by the contrast between Carol Grimes' powerful, blues-inflected vocals and the band's increasingly complex, improvisational instrumental backing. Critical consensus views their sole 1970 album, 'Fools Meeting', as a cult classic that bridges the gap between the British blues boom and the avant-garde leanings of the 1970s prog scene. While the name has been used by modern Australian post-punk acts, the original Delivery remains a cornerstone for collectors of Canterbury-related ephemera and early jazz-rock fusion.
