Reup
The End fue una banda apadrinada por el bajista de The Rolling Stones Bill Wyman. Predecesores de otra banda como The Innocents que luego de su separación Nick Graham y John Horton se unen a Roger Groom, Dave Brown y Colin Giffin, pronto Roger Groom seria sustituido por Hugh Atwooll. A principios de la época eran una banda de aprendices de covers y a medida que iban tocando por clubes y pubs fueron acentuándose más y más en los circuitos del área londinense. Su primer simple fue (I Can't Get Any Joy/Hey Little Girl) dos canciones que pasaron de largo en su visita a los charts en 1965. A pesar de tener el gran respaldo de Bill Wyman la banda nunca tuvo un apoyo de la discográfica, inclusive Bill Wyman habla de la poca importancia que Allen Klein le daba a su trabajo fuera de The Rolling Stones, como ejemplo podemos tomar su segundo sencillo Shades Of Orange, una gran pieza totalmente olvidada y más aún totalmente ignorada por la casa discográfica. Irónicamente fue el principio del fin, con bastante buen material grabado nunca pudieron afianzarse en el mercado discográfico. Este álbum recoge sus primeros intentos de hacerse de un nombre en el circuito musical y contiene buenas muestras de que podían haber llegado un poco más alto...The End

There are differences and many ..Thank you
Then enjoy
Alan Klein was a raptor in the music business. Many bands still pay a high price for having done business with this person.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you
You are great, always aiming to please. Thank you
Thank you, enjoy it!
Although never achieving the success they deserved, the End are best remembered for their Bill Wyman-produced psychedelic-pop that was a masterful mixture of swirling, dream-like numbers, and flowery, but never twee, pop. Their Introspection album is now viewed as one of the finest examples of British psychedelia. Dave Brown and Colin Giffin formed the End in 1965 following the demise of beat group the Innocents. Nicky Graham and John Horton were drafted in from Dickie Pride's backing group, the Original Topics, and the line-up was completed with former Tuxedos drummer Roger Groom. After recording at the now legendary R.G. Jones' Morden studio, successful friend Bill Wyman arranged a tour with the Rolling Stones. They also appeared with Spencer Davis on ITV television's Thank Your Lucky Stars playing "Hallelujah I Love Her So." At this time their music was very much in the club-soul/blue-eyed soul style that was sweeping England by storm. Following the tour, Roger Groom quit to be replaced by Hugh Atwooll, a former school friend of Nicky Graham. John Horton also quit, but the split was amicable as he continued to help out on their second single, "Shades of Orange." Cut by Bill Wyman, with the addition of Charlie Watts on tabla, the song was recorded during the sessions for the Rolling Stones' psychedelic foray, Their Satanic Majesties Request. "Shades of Orange" epitomizes British Psychedelia and is one of the genre's most sought after items.
Following the single's release, Gordon Smith also left and was replaced by former Mode guitarist Terry Taylor. The band then decamped to Spain, where several singles were released domestically, including "Why," a Top Five hit in April 1967. By Christmas 1968, both Colin Giffin and Hugh Attwooll had left after recording the Introspection album, and although a new drummer, Paul Francis, was enlisted, the writing was on the wall. With the arrival of another Mode refugee, Jim Henderson, the End metamorphosed into the more progressive-sounding Tucky Buzzard. Introspection was delayed for over a year due to a fallout from the Rolling Stones' bust-up with Allen Klein and was musically the type of psychedelia that had gone out of fashion by the time of its December 1969 release. The band had changed name and style, leaving this glorious album to sink without a trace.
Thank you " Roadrunner"
