Description

Quality Records, Canada.  1860X by King-Beezz.

Side 1: Found and Lost (McLachlan, Richardson)
Side 2: Now (Cramsie, McLachlan).

This is the Edmonton group who ended up with the Canadian hit of Van Morrison's Gloria when it was censored from various U.S. stations.



n 1965 The King Beezz was founded in Edmonton, Alberta by Ron McLachlan, from Port Glasgow Scotland. The original group consisted of:

  • Ron McLachlan, Drummer, from Port Glasgow, Scotland
  • Alan Cramsie, Rhythm Guitar, from Glasgow, Scotland
  • Carl Peterson, Lead Vocal and Harmonica, from Greenock, Scotland
  • Bob Richardson, Lead Guitar, from Edmonton
  • Ray Carson, Bass Guitar, from Edmonton
The King Beezz first single was recorded for a local label in Edmonton. This single had She Belongs to Me on the A side and Gloria on the B side. Due to the success of this single The King Beezz was signed by Quality Records, a major label from Toronto. Quality re-released that first single with Gloria on the A side.  Before recording their second single, Ray Carson left the group and was replaced by Don McLean, from Edmonton, on bass guitar. The second single, which was recorded in Ontario, contained Can't Explain and Gotta Move. The group's third record contained two songs written by Ron McLachlan: Now and Found and Lost
