This was the second LP from the group called Smith, an L.A.-based rock band that had a specialty with cover tunes, and was most notable for the songs that featured vocalist
Gayle McCormick.
They were signed to the Dunhill label in 1969, reportedly after having been 'discovered' by musician Del Shannon, and gained some notoriety after the release of their first album.
The band broke up in 1971, after personnel changes and this second album.
Various members went on to do session work, while Gayle McCormick pursued a solo career.
Personnel on 'Minus-Plus':
Gayle McCormick - vocals
