The Kingpins

Although Kingpins existed from 1964 to 1967, the main one single they issued throughout that period was credited to another name, as well as the group had changed to a yet different name when it issued an individual in 1968. Developing in New Addington in the London borough of Croydon, the group in the beginning played rough-hewn English Invasion-style music with something of the American garage rock and roll advantage. Though they performed original material, at this time they fell somewhere within the poles to be good enough to try out professionally and sufficient to are worthy of a recording agreement. They did concern a cover from the Reflections’ “(EXACTLY LIKE) Romeo and Juliet” in 1966 around the Ember label, but this 45 was oddly acknowledged to the people Fading Colors. In early 1967, they documented four unissued songs (with onetime Georgie Popularity drummer Crimson Reece) that demonstrated their sound growing rapidly right into a even more personal, progressive design with prominent piano, relatively in the first soul and intensifying rock mildew of Procol Harum. Nevertheless, by enough time they released a psychedelic pop solitary in 1968 with a fresh lineup, that they had transformed their name to Orange Seaweed, that becoming their sole launch before evolving in to the Ray Neale Music group. In 1995, the Tenth World label released 600 copies of the limited-edition LP entitled Kingpins on the market, offering 11 unreleased songs documented in 1965-1967 from the Kingpins and three in 1968-1969 by Orange Seaweed.
