Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a new boxed set featuring all of the albums recorded by the legendary ARTHUR BROWN & KINGDOM COME issued between October 1971 and April 1973. The band came together in 1970 following ARTHUR BROWN’s failed attempt to form a new band upon the disillusion of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in 1969. Based in rural Dorset, Arthur had undertaken rudimentary recordings with the bands The Puddletown Express and Rustic Hinge before forming a new, more satisfactory band KINGDOM COME.
The initial group came together with a line-up of ARTHUR BROWN (vocals), BOB ELLWOOD (guitars), DAVE AMBROSE (bass), ROB TAIT (drums) and PETE BAILEY (percussion) to record a lengthy jam session in the studio. This tape was impressive enough to lead to a contract with Polydor Records and the album GALACTIC ZOO DOSSIER was the first album by the band. Issued in October 1971, the album featured Arthur Brown joined by ANDY DALBY (lead guitar / vocals), MICHAEL “GOODGE” HARRIS (keyboards), DESMOND FISHER (bass), JULIAN BROWN (VCS3 Synthesiser) and MARTIN STEER (drums). The band’s debut album was a conceptual work loosely based upon the subject of humanity living in a zoo and subject to cosmic forces. As a group, Kingdom Come took the mantle from where the Crazy World of Arthur Brown had left off, presenting a highly theatrical show which utilised the VCS 3 synthesiser and presented a form of experimental rock music which was far ahead of its time. This led to them becoming a popular act on the festival circuit (their memorable appearance at the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre was captured in the documentary film of the same name).
For the band’s next album, 1972’s KINGDOM COME, Desmond Fisher departed and was replaced by PHIL SHUTT. The album was another conceptual work and built upon the impact of Internal Messenger Water Time Captives Jungle Dreams No Time (23rd March 1971) (Previously Unreleased) Space Plucks Love Is A Spirit That Will Never Die Triangles Inconstant Wisdom Sunrise (23rd March 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Galactic Zoo City Melody Gypsy Water Eternal Messenger (15th June 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Metal Monster Traffic Light Song Superficial Roadblocks: i Lost Time, ii Superficial Roadblocks, iii Corpora Supercelestia The Finger Galactic Zoo (15th June 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Simple Man The Teacher Conception Early Morning Creep (15th June 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Night Of The Pigs The Experiment (Featuring u201cLower Colonic Irrigationu201d) Spirit Of Joy Waterfall No Time (3rd September 1971) (Previously Unreleased) Sunrise The Whirlpool Come Alive Beholdin Space Plucks / Creation (3rd September 1971) (Previously Unreleased) Trouble The Hymn Time Captives (Alternate Version) Water Is My Friend Simple Man (3rd September 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Brains Traffic Light Song (Alternate Version) Conception (Alternate Version) Elementally Metal Monster / Trouble (3rd September 1971)(Previously Unreleased) Medley:Galactic Zoo (Part Two) / Space Plucks (Part Two) / Galactic Zoo (Part Three) The Hymn (Alternate Version) Come Alive (Alternate Version) Slow Rock Creep The Experiment (Featuring u201cLower Colonic Irrigationu201d) (Alternate Version) Spirit Of Joy (Single Version) Spirit Of Joy Creation Slow Rock (B-Side Of Single) Triangles Gypsy Escape No Time Eternal Messenger(Previously Unreleased On Cd) I.D.
