The Craig - I Must Be Mad descargar videos gratis
The Craig is a Birmingham band from the mid 60s. The band's drummer was Carl Palmer, later of prog-rock superstars, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The other members were lead vocalist Jeff Brown, Richard King, guitar, and Len Cox, bass.
According to Carl's official website http://www.carlpalmer.com/carl-bio.html, the band was called the King Bees when he joined at the age of 15, in 1965. At what stage the name changed to Craig and the reasoning behind the moniker, is not revealed. Both Craig singles came out in 1966 (on Fontana) and Carl was not with the band for long, as he shifted his sticks to Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds at the age of 16. Another member of Craig has been listed elsewhere as Richard Pannell. As the name is not mentioned by Carl, Richard possibly joined the line-up after he left.
In 1968, Jeff Brown became vocalist with Galliard, which according to alexgitlin.com also included Richard Pannell. The site has a photo of six musicians from the 12-piece line-up, although individual members are not identified.

One of the very best 7" from UK, often compiled and a real antidepressant. 11 years ago

I got this on Chocolate Soup For Diabetics in 1983. There is a slower version on Rubble, which some say is the correct one, but i much prefer this faster version. Thanks for the upload!11 years ago

Rich was in the band when Carl joined us, King Bees, in '65. The name change came when we signed with Larry Page. We hoped it was our 'passport' to success bearing in mind Larry had the Kinks & Troggs under his wings. Didn't work out and we split, Carl joined Chris Farlowe and for him the rest is pop history. And me - well just look at the photo...still in touch with the lads and have very fond memories of our time together. Strange thing is we are more 'famous' now than back then!11 years ago

@TOBERT001 Very interesting piece of history, totally dig the Misunderstood too. Shame Karl Palmer ended up making music that was not danceable.13 years ago

This is a great record. TOTALLY MANIC. I remember reading an article Julian Cope wrote on British singles of the 60's. He said,"Even The Misunderstood are upstaged by the mania of The Craig's 'I Must Be Mad'.... the drummer frantically overplaying to make up for his lack of timekeeping". HO HO. It's Karl Palmer no less.....time to lay off the drugs,Julian.13 years ago
