[net.music] Another Arthur Brown TQ

Picking apart The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is not too difficult,
since they did have a hit single.

Let's try something a bit tougher:  What was the group formed by Brown
immediately after The Crazy World.  How many albums did they make and
what were their titles?

I asked:

With a grand total of 0 responses I'm left to assume this was either
too hard or too trivial (or both).  FYI the groups name was 'Kingdom
Come'.  They made three LP's, all classic early-70's English "progressive
rock psychedelia"...

	Debut: The Galactic Zoo Dosier
	2nd:   Kingdom Come
	3rd:   Journey

The third LP is one of the earliest 'rock' albums I know of without a
human drummer.  Instead they used a rather primitive drum machine--with
a very interesting outcome.

I believe that the 2nd and 3rd LP's have been reissued now and again, and
the debut--well worth seeking out--occasionally finds caches of original
copies being found in warehouses.  There was also a 2-LP compilation issued
about two or three years ago titled 'Lost Ears.'

Arthur Brown has had many solo and colloborative LP's issued since Kingdom
Come, including 'Chisolm In My Bosom' and 'Dance'.  The latter is very
interesting, as it seems someone decided that Brown should cash in on the
disco sound... a very strange thought indeed.

Kingdom Come -- so that's what they were called. I saw them play to
about thirty bored people in Gravesend, Kent circa 1972. Arthur came on stage
"riding" a cardboard horse, and then divided his time between tweaking
his brand new Drum Machine and gyrating in front of the lights for
the maximum effect of the fluorescent paint patch on the crotch of
his jeans.

Some things are best forgotten.
