Nightmare

Dear James,

Here's a good 'un, recommended by Ian. I'm not sure if he reads the blog or just had a fit of recommending far-out jives from the late sixtees. This is the most passable of his recommendations. He's very eclectic. He enjoys modern jazz and everything.

With this video I've finally resolved my Arthur confusion, to wit:

1. Arthur Brown was not the singer from Love.
2. Neither was Arthur Lowe
3. It was Arthur Lee.
4. I should stop watching Dad's Army in the hope that they'll play something from "Forever Changes".

This clip is taken from Peter Sykes' 1968 film "The Committee", which also featured music by The Pink Floyd.

Note the limited pyrotechnics of the era, so Mr Brown's flaming horns go out 33 seconds in; the organist's dad looking on proudly at (1:18); a young Cher dancing at (2:31); and that's not a real drummer, or indeed, a real cigarette. Arthur Brown was from Whitby. What is about Whitby, eh?
