SPOOKY TOOTH & PIERRE HENRY

Remastered Re-Release 2016  NEW!!! sealed + 5 Bonus
One of the greatest 60s bands, who didn't  earn at all the success they needed.
Beginning in the early 60s under the group name  V.I.P.s (VIPPS) , much loved in Hamburgs Star Club,
even  Keith Emerson passed through their Lineup.
Only some singles released in Germany and in the UK and 3 EPs in France showing the great potential
this band had. Soulful  vocals from Modbeat, R&B to Psych.
After the the split in 1967, and with adding a new drummer (Mike Kelly) they recorded a grandiose; but
totaly overlooked; Psych album as The ART in the same year.
In 1968 they started again with US organist Gary Wright producing two great Psych-Prog LPs in 1968
and 1969, but the 3rd album 'Ceremony' was a disaster for the band.
French electronic pioneer Pierre Henry, who was involved...added too much (electronic) , so the album
flopped,  and the band split.
Short time later reformed with Harrison and Kellie from the original band and ex members from Joe Cockers
Grease Band and Nashville Teens, this lineup again produced only one very good album, incl. a great cover
from the BEATLES song I am the Walrus'. In the autum of this year 1970 they disbanded, reformed
in 1973  with Harrison and Wright, Kellie followed soon too, releasing 2LPs in the same year and toured with
label mates TRAFFIC. The last LP 'The Mirror' again was recorded with a different lineup.
Around 30 Years later the band reformed .
