Timebox (formed in November 1966, in Southport, Lancashire) was a 1960's band that developed from a complicated ancestry that included the Take 5, the Bo Street Runners, Patto's People, and the Chicago Blue Line. This soul/psych-pop combo made two singles for Pye's Piccadilly label before signing to Decca's Deram imprint in 1967. They recorded five singles for Deram between 1967 and 1969 and appeared on BBC shows such as Noise at Nine, Stuart Henry on Sunday and Jimmy Young. After their last single failed in 1970, keyboard player 'Professor' Chris Holmes left and the remaining members continued under the name Patto.
