Clouds
Starting life in Edinburgh, Scotland, as The Premiers, then, following a few personnel changes, enjoying some critical acclaim as innovative organ-led rock trio 1-2-3, The Clouds were at the epicenter of the thriving progressive rock scene from its inception in the mid-late 1960s. They remained there until 1971 but never really hit the big time and remain one of Prog's great unsung.
According to some sources, 1-2-3 were instrumental in influencing Keith Emerson's band The Nice to stop being P.P. Arnold's backing band and become a classically influenced organ-driven rock group themselves, although Emerson has never confirmed this. It is also likely that they were influential on the young Rick Wakeman and other future Prog Rock group members who were known to frequent the Marquee club at that time.
1-2-3 initially specialised in arranging pop and rock songs in extended and highly improvised formats, frequently including both citations and adaptations of classical music and jazz arrangements. One example of this is Simon and Garfunkel's America, arranged similarly 5 years later by Yes, into which 1-2-3 seamlessly incorporated quotations from Bach.
The band played extensively at the Marquee club in London in the late 1960s, notably early in 1967, alongside bands such as The Nice, The Syn (later Yes), Jethro Tull, The Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix. A young David Bowie wrote an enthusiastic newspaper article on the band, a facsimile of which may be found on the band's website. They were taken on by NEMS management company, run by Brian Epstein, in late 1967.
After changing their name to The Clouds, they quickly got to work writing and recording the album Scrapbook, which was released in 1968 on Island Records. Deram (London) released the U.S. Export album in 1969, and it was not until 1971 that Clouds released their final album, Watercolour Days.
The band, Billy Ritchie, Ian Ellis and Harry Hughes, were reportedly never happy with the recorded work and felt it was not a true representation of what the band did in a live environment - and the material on Up Above Our Heads would seem to support this, as some of it is very different to the two Island/Chrysalis albums.
