Tapestry Of Delights:
Originally formed in 1965, this underground band were transformed into a pop-orientated outfit by songwriting duo Howard and Blaikley, who had earlier achieved success with The Honeycombs and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Although not psychedelic, their music was packaged to fit the flower power era. Their first Fontana single, the catchy I Can Fly, failed to enter the charts, but the sombre orchestrated follow-up, From The Underworld, reached No 6 in 1967, and the excellent Paradise Lost, notable for its 'stripper music' intro and finale, and I Don't Want Our Loving To Die, reached Nos 15 and 5 respectively in 1968. The group's teen appeal was largely attributable to Peter Frampton, voted 'the face of 1968' in the music journals. However, their next single, Sunshine Cottage, failed to chart and when Frampton quit, appalled by some of the trappings of the music business, the band disintegrated. Of course, he later re-emerged to form Humble Pie - an early Supergroup - with Stevie Marriott, and later attained phenomenal success in the USA as a solo artist. Bown and Spinetti later joined Judas Jump and then formed the folk-rock group, Storyteller, although Bown wasn't actually a member. He also made solo albums and was later in Status Quo. This Boy's Always Been True later resurfaced on Sixties Lost And Found 1964-69.
