This band were first called The Stormeville Shakers. Their rare progressive album is now of minor interest to collectors. Mel Collins was later in King Crimson and Kokomo. Philip Goodhand-Tait had earlier recorded three 45s for Parlophone and after his spell with Circus he went on to record several solo albums. Chris Burrows had earlier played with Ray Anton and The Proform, and later had some involvement with Spirit Of John Morgan and Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come.
Do You Dream? is a delightful piece of psychedelic pop and their first 45 was produced by Mike D'Abo.
Chris Burrows later became a Buddhist monk, releasing four CDs of Buddhist percussion/chanting for the New Beginnings label. For enquiries about these contact him on
mystic.burrows@virgin.netCompilation appearances have included: Father Of My Daughter and Norwegian Wood on Children Of The Sun (CD).
courtesy "The Tapestry Of Delights" de Vernon Joynson bien sûr... çe me fait penser que cet extraordinaire bouquin (qui contient néanmoins pas mal d'erreurs ou d'omissions) est à nouveau en ligne sur un site russe. Je ne sais pas combien de temps ça restera car ces derniers temps le gars Vernon était contre la mise en ligne de son ouvrage... Enfin, bref, à titre d'information, c'est là...
