In 1973, Christopher Cloud was the name of a band assembled by Tommy Boyce of Boyce and Hart fame. They released an album called Blown Away on Chelsea Records (BCL1-0234) that same year. The band featured members of the group AIM. Boyce used an alias on the record of "Tomme" and his image (hidden behind clouds) was used for the cover. This album has never been reissued on CD. It is to note that the last song on side A (Thank God For Rock'n Roll) is not referenced anywhere but on the actual record label.
Two singles were released from the album, "Thank God for Rock 'N Roll" / "Krush on Kris" (BCBO-0101) and "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" / "Interpretation Of War" (78-0118), both featuring non-LP B-sides.
AIM released an album in 1974 called Aim For The Highest on Blue Thumb Records (BST64).
