Camel (or Sopworth Camel) - Underage 1969 (UK, Heavy Psychedelic Rock)



Camel (or Sopworth Camel) - English band from Italy ... Nothing to do with Andrew Latimer and Bardens Peter does not have ... This group was established in 1969 by three Englishmen who lived and acted in Italy in pursuit of glory (and money) - keyboardist Martin Fisher and drummer Pete Huish appeared in Italy in 1966 as part of Thane Russal and Three, lead guitarist Dave Sumner arrived as part of the Liverpool group Motowns. They "sang" and the new trio became known as Sopworth Camel and played his first concert at Piper Club in Rome in early 1969. Residence chose Naples. On the role of lead singer claimed several people (British singers in Italy, then was greater than in Britain itself), but the choice was made by Scotsman Alex "Eck" Ligertwood (he took the stage name of Alex Jackson), formerly sang in the group The Senate. Label RCA Italy gave the group an opportunity to record in his studio and single LP. The band's name was reduced to just a Camel ... At 45-kyo, the band recorded an Italian version of the song Only My Woman (Sei La Mi Donna), previously performed by a group of Marbles, and Fresh Garbage - a cover of Spirit. Then came the LP Underage - containing only the covers from the repertoire of The Who, Vanilla Fudge, Small Faces, Spooky Tooth, The Beatles, Moby Grape, Cream. After recording, Dave Sumner decided to return to his former group Primitives and the band broke up Camel ...
