RUPERT'S PEOPLE 'REFLECTIONS OF CHARLES BROWN/'HOLD ON.'
COLUMBIA DB 8226 1967. ULTRA RARE.
THIS SINGLE IS ACTUALLY PERFORMED BY THE 'FLEURS-DE-LYS' WHO BROKE-UP BEFORE THE SINGLE WAS RELEASED. PRODUCERS CONCOCTED A 'PHANTOM' GROUP NAME - RUPERT'S PEOPLE & RELEASED IT.
THERE IS ALARMING SIMILARITY BETWEEN ROCB AND PROCOL HARUM'S, WHITER SHADE OF PALE. BOTH WERE BASED ON A CLASSICAL THEME, VOCALS AND THE ORGAN SOLO'S AGAIN ARE VERY SIMILAR. BOTH WERE RELEASED AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME. SO IS 'REFLECTIONS' THE INSPIRATION FOR POSSIBLY THE GREATEST SONG EVER RECORDED?? YOU DECIDE, BUT ROCB IS A SUPERB SINGLE, THE B-SIDE NOT FAR BEHIND.
CONDITION: VERY GOOD, THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS AND CRACKLES BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES OR GROOVE JUMPING.
A CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC AND COLLECTABLE SINGLES OF THE 1960'S
NB PETER SOLLEY, WHO PLAYED IN RUPERT'S PEOPLE, LATER JOINED PROCOL HARUM !! THAT WAS A COINCIDENCE.
