Phillips is known as a Hammond organ player, but his first recordings were as a guitarist for the eccentric, innovative English record producer Joe Meek. After working alongside guitarist Ritchie Blackmore on the Meek sessions, Phillips was prompted to find another instrument to play. Phillips moved to keyboards with The Peddlers, where he added his bluesy singing to his cool organ grooves.
