The Crazy World of Arthur Brown


I was sitting here tonight listening to an old album called "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown". Does anyone remember this album ("Fire" was the big hit) from the 60s? Love the second to the last cut "I've Got Money". Also, who can forget "Spontaneous Apple Creation".

I havn't heard Arthur in quite a few years; this thread made me dig out the vinyl. Any Wild Man Fisher fans out there? "The leaves are falling".
I lived in LA for 18 years and made the rounds; I preferred Record Surplus. To each his own.

It does say on the album that Pete Townshend (the old psychoderelict himself) was one of the producers. In addition to Arthur's crazy screaming voice I love Vincent Crane's Hammond B3. I have the first Atomic Rooster album with Vincent Crane (there's a rooster's head right on the cover).
Arthur Brown continued to make great music throughout the 70s. His band Kingdom Come was a shining star in the space rock genre and recorded about 4 albums. The best of these was the spectacular "Journey" (available on the Voiceprint lable). No drummer on this record, but a cheap trend setting Bently drum machine. I hear that he now resides in Austin TX. practicing psychology. Hey Viridian... Monkeys vs. Donkeys!
