Hammond organ, combined with great guitar and excellent drums parties sound in an atmosphere of The Nice, Velvett Fogg and The Gods.<br /><br />A second album and a fourth single were released in 1969, the single being a psychedelic and slowed-down version of Hound Dog! The album still had its moments on Baby You're Not To Blame and the eight and a quarter minute Sour Suite with great organ and guitar, but also was left alone by the record-buying public. A big mistake was the awful cover of MacArthur Park. After they had called it a day, Page One released one more album with leftovers and some new tracks as well, which weren't saying anything new, but made for pleasant listening. Although Plastic Penny were not remarkable in themselves, several of their members went on to greater fame. Mick Grabham (then billed as Mick Graham) moved on to play with Cochise, and then Procol Harum. Brian Keith later became the lead vocalist with Congregation, who, oddly and coincidentally, share the unwanted one-hit wonder tag with Plastic Penny. Paul Raymond replaced Christine Perfect in Chicken Shack, then joined Savoy Brown and recorded five albums with them, and later played several spells with the long-lived rock band, UFO. Nigel Olsson became an in-demand session musician, most notably drumming on much of Elton John's early work. He has also worked with The Spencer Davis Group, Uriah Heep, Kiki Dee, Neil Sedaka, Rod Stewart and Leo Sayer. Tony Murray played bass on all tracks of Elton John’s Empty Sky LP, before joining The Troggs.adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788501676359801243.post-1704848793823886402015-10-07T22:19:09.385+02:002015-10-07T22:19:09.385+02:00flac cue log scansflac cue log scansSolidboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135582578049214344noreply@blogger.com
