HAPPENING
The
sleeve of David Bowie’s latest album “The Man Who Sold The World” runs
into controversy as it shows the artist wearing a dress. The sleeve is
withdrawn, making original copies highly priced collector’s items.
Sessions
for a planned second Derek & The Dominoes are scrapped amid considerable
acrimony. Eric Clapton retreats to his home in Surrey, becoming a virtual
recluse for the next two years.
The
Rolling Stones launch their own ‘Rolling Stones’ label, to be
distributed by Atlantic. Meanwhile, the group have moved to the French
Riviera to escape UK Tax laws.
Ex-Rare
Bird organist Graham Field forms his own group, appropriately named
‘Fields’. Former King Crimson drummer Andy McCulloch and bassist Bill
Hain are the other members.
It’s
reported that Denny Laine has formed his own band following the demise of
Balls, and is to record an album. Ex-Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation guitarist
John Morshead and former John Mayall bassist Steve Thompson are members of
this new group alongside drummer John Pearson.
Pete Bardens (Ex-Them, Shotgun Express, Village etc) forms his own group, reportedly to be called "On".
Yes
win their ‘battle’ with the BBC and are featured on the album spot of
the April 1st edition of ‘Top Of The Pops’.
