Herd - Paradise Lost 1968

[manchild3479]

its weird and wonderfull, it will never age, great stuff.

[ColumRogers]

The Herd are probably my favourite 60's band. They were so wonderfully weird and songs like this just don't sound aged. Here's to next 40 odd years LOL! x

[RowleyBirkinn]

Ambitious but doesn't quite work. No wonder only made no.15 in the UK charts. Mind you in 67/68 you had to sell a lot of records just to make the top 20!

[TheUmnaya]

прекрасная музыка!

[lambertroberts]

far out man !!! a great year .

[peterdcarter1]

over produced rubbish

[armoredcar3]

@peterdcarter1 No. An ambitious, intelligent and original song, performance and production.

[45rpmSINGLES]

@peterdcarter1 your credibility as a rock music critic is diminished somewhat by your liking of Tony Blackburn videos ...

[peterdcarter1]

@45rpmSINGLES who said i liked them?

[Khultan]

@peterdcarter1 I agree. It's going nowhere.

[richnick432]

great music great group, the096757 cant u get gold they play nearly all60s/70s with a few 80s

[The096757]

this is the kind of 60s music i want to listen to. satellite radio is trash. they need a flower power station that plays music like this from the late 60s -early 70s and NOTHING ELSE.

[sandarsed]

I LOVED this at the time, played it and played it and played it, drove my brother and parents mad - but it's really awful! PF still brilliant! I'm hoping he'll come back to Barcelona to celebrate 40 years since Frampton Comes Alive!

[MegaKaren41]

bridlington spa...don't know what year but my dad drove me and my frends from scarborough to brid and we went to the hotel over the road and got their autographs....it was so exciting!!!

[SuperNevile]

Interesting that this progressive track as well as "From The Underworld" and" I Don't Want Our Loving To Die", were written by Howard And Blaikey who also wrote, at the same time, most of the hits for Dave Dee DB and T. They also wrote for Lulu, Elvis and the Marmalde as well as a host of others. I don't think they are well known song writers which is very strange. Their web site hosts YT vids of their songs ~ very prolific yet unknown ??

[armoredcar3]

@SuperNevile I get the impression they didn't want to be put in any one bag as songwriters and composers, but to feel free to range between pure infectious pop as well as more progressive, ambitious, 'meaningful' and less commercial things. Their musical collaboration seems to be full of unlikely surprises.

[Tornfreedom]

@armoredcar3 Keith Richard made a telling comment - on Youtube. He said that when they started, the Music Industry was run as a Tax Loss by Defence companies like Decca and RCA, and that they put up with a lot of Experimental Music, hence the 60's being very weird (musically). Once they realised there was money to be made it all got a lot more serious and mainstream. No wonder then that 45 years on it is full of sh*t.

[gerolast]

Super, wunderbar, it`s perfekt

[megadora1969]

ピーター・フランプトン若いっすね！ハンブル・パイやソロもいい­けど、この時期が好き！アレンジのホーンの使い方はビートルズか­らの影響ですかね？

[SuperNevile]

At the time loved the choir riff in the background ~ nothing else like it ~ and the morphing styles. Great sequel to Underworld which also had massive atmosphere.

[emperorsdragon]

Saw this band in 68 at the Eden Park Hotel nr Beckenham, very strange looking back

at the clothes & hairstyles of the day. My girlfriend at the time was mad keeen on PF

so we had to go and seen them. Not one of my my favourite bands of the time but the show was Ok as I remember, only a few hundred in attendance

[marcusbewley1]

this song should really have been a bigger hit than it was,

its one of those songs that really should be done as a re release

when I first heared this song, I thought it was the ..Stripper .. tune, the way it starts,

and always remember it as that ,even now.

[sunnsight]

wow...what a time it was....flower power...and thanks 68 blues for yr reply....

[Framptonfixation]

Peter, Peter *sigh*..... most beautiful boy who ever walked the earth

[armoredcar3]

Check out The Herd - 'Sad'. Really beautiful song even if it's sung by Gary and not Peter!

[minimadalison]

Great great song - followed on (I think) from From the Underworld - great sound and one of the many different sounds of the sixties - and of course Peter was gorgeous and he must have been 17 then - same age as I was. Magic.

[54helena]

Another good one from the Herd...Wonder what Peter Frampton looks like now!

[keithr63]

@54helena Peter has lost some of his hair but he still tours and just released a new cd.

[delpotman]

@54helena ,What? Is peter frampton playing here?

[sunnsight]

is that Jeff Beck the pianoman???

[vampyros1]

@sunnsight No, it's Cozy Powell.

[68blues]

@sunnsight ...it's actually Andy Bown, from Status Quo fame.

[merlangus1]

I had this single on the Fontana label in '68. Haven't heard it in 35 years. Talk about nostalgia!! You can keep 'Britpop' - this rocks!!

[beatlebabe6766]

why was i born too late.

[TheAltaltalt1]

drummer andrew steel died on april 18th 2005.

[englishsandy]

Who was the drummer please? know the others I think but the drummer???????????

[polecatcontinuum]

@englishsandy Andrew Steele.

[englishsandy]

@polecatcontinuum you litle beauty thanks a lot for that.Andrew Stelle I wonder what he is doing now;presuming he is still with us;do you know?

Thanks a lot.

[polecatcontinuum]

@englishsandy Sorry - don't know. Hope he's still with us. Seemed from the records and videos like a very cool drummer and person.

[englishsandy]

@polecatcontinuum I am so sorry I appologise to his fans and family I really did not know.he was really great I just love Andy Bowens hair it looks way cool.

[TheAltaltalt1]

@englishsandy andrew steele who died april 18th 2005

[rockon1898]

The Donny Osmond of Britain - and the future Quo keyboardist and the glue who keeps SQ together.

[Pipilat]

The sweetness of Donny Osmond in appearance - but a great musician performing a classic and serious song.

[ColumRogers]

If only time machines were possible (sighs).

[klinsmeier]

Never "herd" of this band before - the voice and the performance remind me of the Small Faces

[yumyummoany]

@klinsmeier I think it was the sound of the time - Traffic as well. I know at the time they all sounded different.

[candybrae]

Peter was with the Small faces...

[Tinsnake]

Peter never was with the small faces ,he was with humble pie after this.

[frank2010a]

prachtig

[manoddy]

STILL BEAUTIFULL !!!!!! Peter was 17 I think

[Andreagear4]

We can`t stop to hear this.

[han09hague]

tune ♥

[zetechats]

great group a classic song from the sixties.

[UvaYakone]

so this was Pete's band before he teamed up with Marriott and formed Humble Pie, mmmmm interesting hehe

[ahorwood]

This is wonderful stuff. I love the 'kitchen sink and all' style production. So much youth and energy, and talent.

[drumheadthe1st]

I really wish there was a video of the song on your own. Peters early jazz style is so good on that track

[WildwoodFlowerGirl]

Awwh Peter looks so young and cute!!! But still very talented and ahead of his time.

[macdonder]

Also the instrumental tune "Impressions of Oliver" on that album has some truly awesome musicianship, especially the Hammond Organ playing.

[macdonder]

I have always enjoyed the Herd album Paradise Lost, since 1966. The production and instrumentation is a testament to the skill of the producers.

[rybones77]

In my opinion their best song.Their balls haven't even dropped yet.Raw talent.

[candybrae]

The Herd...the best of the BEST

[Wardimus83]

Please somebody help me! Im trying to find, The Herd - Charlie Anderson, can someone message me if they know where to download it.

[wiredtojupiter]

Yes! this THE ONE I remember-brill! thanx

[ColumRogers]

I have just been thinking what you wrote.

[AnnaKarina2]

This is Great!~

Thanks aristacourt for this share:)

[RutlesA]

type &fmt=18 after the url for the best sound quality!

[IncurableNostalgic]

Where is the boy he was?

The face of '68 ...

sigh ...

[zimerdy]

Takes me back a few years! Still great though.

[anitashelby]

Very Cool Song!!!  5*s Thanks Anita

[aristacourt]

Great too see Peter Frampton with The Herd.Amazing song.

[Reach16]

I spent all my pocket money etc on their concerts etc

Peter Frampton was gorgeous

still is a talented musician

[ElizabethxPete]

why cant I find anything about this band?

[DSVOP]

The lyrics take me back to a girl, a time, when this tune was hot.

Peter Frampton made the lyric work.

Cool, but painful post, appreciated.

[allivegp]

painful why?

[DSVOP]

Painful, well, she was a nice girl and everytime I play the tune on my shows, or hear it, the memory of her comes back to me.

The title, too, sums up that emotion...'Paradise Lost'...we all seek paradise, and, for me, it was lost through stupidity.

Thats the joy of being human, we experience emotion, and that is good, but hard too.

I hope I have clarified my comment, 'allivegp'

[CherrisVids]

Wow I have never heard this before !! Very cool share from J !! I seen Peter a few years back he still Rocks and still as cute as ever even with out the hair !!!!

Wow I had no idea he has been rocken' the world for so long!! Way cool video post !!

All the stars !!

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

WoW  Peter Frampton ( Swoon)

Love this

T.Y. for share LVEMEDO

[jasparstraat]

prachtig nummer. helaas je hoort dit nooit meer op welke zender dan ook.

[241357]

Liked the couple of Herd songs that made it into the charts at the time. They went on to do well in their other projects, didn't they?

[loteiras]

Queria to obtain the letter of the song of the heds "fare of well". Can you obtain me? Thank you.

[emperorsdragon]

Saw this band @ Eden Park, Beckenham in 1968.

My girlfriend at the time dragged me along as Peter Frampton was her pin-up. Suprisingly they were'nt that bad live for a bunch of pretty boys.

[Framptonfixation]

Ooh, PETER....even before you grew your hair you were a beautiful, beautiful boy...*sigh*

[Pipilat]

Yes, he was. But he felt this detracted from his reputation as a musician and he hated the media naming him 'the Face of '68'. Even so, the three Herd hits and album were great, although so different from his later work.

[Kassandra1Kink]

They are so cutie))))sweet video))good song)

[santa457]

The lyrics are decent but the music sucks.

[Wingspan91089]

Frampton and Bown.....I love them

[IDLERACER]

Man, that bass player is one tall dude.

[fiutare]

nope, but sweet boy frampton besides him is one small guy.

;-)

[annie5591]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, doesn't Peter look CUTE!!

[joeygsmom]

@annie5591 yeah he does :-)

[joeygsmom]

@annie5591 yes he does, one of the few rockstars who looks better with short hair.

[philwear]

the face of '68 god bless him .. underrated guitarist

[Entropy56]

Sorry but the drummer's blouse doesn't cut it for me. Would look better on Karen Carpenter.

[ther51]

Yes he was cute,he was the face of 68.

[ther51]

i love this song, i was in love with peter framton in them good old sixties, his pics was all over my bedroom walls. lol

[kickassfan]

He's cute...soo hot!!!!

[godworks777]

OMG! I have heard this song somewhere in my past and liked it, but I never knew that it was Peter Frampton! I knew he had been with The Herd before Humble Pie, but never knew this was their song!! Thanks for posting.
