Plastic Penny

Plastic Penny were a British 1960s pop band, formed in November 1967 before splitting up in August 1969. The group had one hit single early in 1968: "Everything I Am". Most of the members went on to greater fame with other bands or in session work.

Career
Most of the band's material was psychedelic pop, with leanings towards a prog rock sound. "Everything I Am" reached number six in the UK Singles Chart and number 30 in Canada. The group's third and final album Heads I Win, Tails You Lose was a compilation of the band's more obscure recordings, issued in 1970 after the group had disbanded. ==Band members==
