Pacific Street contained an acoustic sound tendentially, engaged in trumpet and flute, with influences from Burt Bacharach, Love, Bossa nova and new and extremely melodious pop songs.

The band would record one more album before splitting and Head would re-emerge a few years later fronting Shack.[3]
