Group "The Herd" made history in the first place,
because in its ranks debuted later famous singer Peter Frampton, and
secondly, through a series of brilliant psychedelic pop numbers that
came from the pen of the author duo Howard-Blaikley. The Group is
organized in early 1965 Gary Taylor (guitar, vocals) and Andy Bown
(bass, piano, vocals). The group also included Lewis Rich (organ) and
Terry Clark (vocals) of "The Eagles", but not American, and English.
Place behind the drums at first took the veteran blues clubs Tony
Chapman, who once started as a member of the group ranneblyuzovoy "The
Cleftons", and in the summer and fall of 1962 he played in the embryonic
part of "The Rolling Stones", but by June 1965 it was replaced by Mick
Underwood of "The Outlaws ". At first, "The Herd", like all young London
group of those years, playing rhythm and blues. They signed a contract
with "Parlophone", for which the spring of 1966 made two obscure "EP,"
then parted company with no regrets with them. Failure plunged the
group into shock. Rich, Clark and Underwood left (the first one was
gone, Clark later sang in "Jason Crest", and Underwood played at various
times with a dozen groups - from "The Episode 6" and ending with
"Gillan"). Their places were taken by drummer Andrew Steele of "Gary
Farr And The T-Bones" and no one has a well-known guitarist Peter
Frampton. Taylor switched to bass and Bown - on keyboards. In this
structure, the group debuted in a London club, and a month later signed a
contract with "Fontana", where "The Herd" immediately taken note of Ken
Howard and Alan Blaikley, already have achieved solid progress with
"Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich "and" The Honeycombs ". After a
miss with the debut single "I Can Fly / Diary Of A Narcissist" duo found
the right recipe in "From The Underworld", kvazipsihodelicheskoy ballad
with abstruse text, which is the summer of 1967 rose by 6-th row of the
British charts. His popular group was in large part to the pirate radio
stations that cool song from morning till evening. The following year,
"The Herd" has visited twice in the pop-lists: a beautifully arranged
"Paradise Lost" and "I Do not Want Our Loving To Die", which was the
15th and 5th respectively. In March 1968 they released their first
album, is a typical example of hippie culture with a set of stamps
flower power. In June 1968, Steele was gone, and his place was taken by a
young Henry Spinetti. That same summer tineydzherskih popular magazine
"Rave" and called good-looking blond Frampton's "Person of the Year".
Label picked up all the youth press and soon "The Herd" faced with a
natural "fremptonmaniey." As luck would have their next "sorokapyatka»
"Sunshine Cottage", this time psychedelia purest water failed and the
group was on the verge of collapse. Eventually, in January 1969,
Frampton, who was bored as he fell down on the role of a teenage idol
and repertoire Howard and Blaikley, left, and three months later
organized a blues supergroup "Humble Pie". Six months, the group played
three, but in August of "The Herd" is gone and Taylor. Bown and Spinetti
plus new bassist Louis Cennamo of "Jody Grind" the fall of 1969
recorded a final single "The Game" and the same in the winter put the
last point in the band's history. In January 1970, the same two (without
Cennamo, who left to create a "Renaissance") organized a new group of
"Judas Jump". Later, they all played together in the folk-rock group
"Storyteller", but then went their separate ways: Bown worked with Peter
Frampton (who in the mid 70s became the star of stadium-scale in the
United States), and then in the "Status Quo . "Spinetti collaborated
with Chris Steyntonom, Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton. Taylor Steele and
met twice: first in the "Kid Gloves", and a year later in "Stealers
Wheel", after which Taylor appeared only in the ranks of the
Anglo-Australian pop group "Fox". The second album "The Herd" in limited
edition and only in the United States. In the early 70s the company
"Bumble" has released a compilation of single-coil and rare versions of
songs by the band called "Nostalgia". At this same CD contains
