Active throughout the second half of the Sixties, THE HERD started out as a promising young jazz/R&B club band before being picked up and groomed for stardom by DDDBM&T producer Steve Rowland and crack songwriting partnership Howard Blaikley. With reluctant teen idol Peter Frampton anointed by the media as The Face of 68, the group scored a trio of major hit singles From The Underworld, Paradise Lost and I Don t Want Our Loving To Die - as well as cutting a fascinatingly idiosyncratic, critically-acclaimed album. Taken from the master tapes, and with a lavish 16-page booklet that features a new essay on the band and some priceless period photos, Paradise Lost: The Complete UK Fontana Recordings assembles the Herd’s hugely entertaining body of work from their 1967-69 pop/psych glory years.
