Rough Diamond is the debut album of British rock band Rough Diamond.
Contents
Rough Diamond was formed by singer David Byron following his dismissal from Uriah Heep, along with former Humble Pie guitarist Clem Clempson and ex-Wings drummer Geoff Britton. The album peaked at No. 103 on the Billboard 200 in 1977. The band opened for Peter Frampton in the spring of 1977 on the latter's US tour. The group disbanded shortly after releasing their debut. Bizarrely, for a few weeks, the band's roadie and driver was Royal Shakespeare Company actor Tony Rowlands.
