Opal Butterfly was an English psychedelic rock group from Oxfordshire, which was active between 1968 and 1970. Although the band itself did not gain widespread success, the musicians did go on to conduct successful musical careers. The band included Simon King (drums) and, for a short time, Lemmy, who later joined Hawkwind. Further members were Robert "Robbie" Milne (lead guitar), Allan Love (lead vocals), Richard Bardey (bass guitar) and Tommy Doherty (rhythm guitar). The band released three official singles in the heavy psychedelic rock style before disbanding.[1]
