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? ... uw-june!eli

I asked: > What was the group formed by Arthur Brown immediately > after The Crazy World. How many albums did they make > and what were their titles? 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. ... uw-june!eli

#R:uw-june>:-168500:ctvax:39000021:000:426 ctvax!rob Jul 8 20:17:00 1984 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. Rob Spray ...convex!ctvax!rob
