T H E H E R D - Lookin' Thru You
USA - Fontana - SRF 67579 Record and sleeve are in EX+ condition.
INSANELY RARE NEAR MINT STEREO 1968 US ORIGINAL GOLD LABEL PROMO on the FONTANA label (see photo). This promo copy includes the "-1" machine stamped suffix in the dead wax indicating that it was pressed from the first masters. Radio Station DJ pressings are the 1st presses from the stampers and are usually pressed on superior thick non-flexible vinyl made to withstand the heavier use from radio play. There may have only been a few hundred or so of these pressings made in 1968 for radio use and they sound far superior to any other pressings. The TRUE STEREO punch of the promo vinyl is incredible. This copy is from my personal collection. SCARCE 1968 MOD POP SWINGIN' LONDON GROOVES!

Before '70s superstardom, even before Humble Pie, Peter Frampton got his first taste of celebrity as a singer and guitarist in the Herd, who chalked up several hits in Britain in 1967 and 1968. Frampton was only 17 when the single "From the Underworld" went into the British Top Ten in late 1967; "Paradise Lost" and "I Don't Want Our Loving to Die" were hits for the group in the first half of 1968. The Herd's brand of mod a bit like a the poprock blends of the Small Faces. Much of their material (including all of the hits) was written by their management team of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, who had supplied songs for Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich. Frampton and keyboardist Andy Bown wrote most of the band's original tunes of the Herd's overtly 'mod pop-rock' sounds and were a factor in Frampton's decision to leave for Humble Pie and their hard rockin' sounds, after the Herd had issued just one album and a few singles. After a few Frampton-less singles, the Herd scattered into oblivion leaving only one collectible album...and here 'tis:
I Don't Want Our Loving To Die
Come On-Believe Me
Our Fairytail
On My Way Home
Goodbye Groovy
From The Underworld
Paradise Lost
Sweet William
I can Fly
Understand Me
