The Herd

The Herd were an English beat group from London that issued three singles on Parlophone circa 1965/66. After the arrival of teenage guitarist/vocalist Peter Frampton, the band issued a slew of pop-psych singles on Fontana during 1967 and 1968, culminating with the album Paradise Lost and the single “Sunshine Cottage.” Frampton soon quit the band to join with ex-Small Faces vocalist/guitarist Steve Marriott in blues-rockers Humble Pie.

Herd bassist/keyboardist Andy Bown subsequently joined Judas Jump and recorded four solo albums between 1972 and 1978 before landing a permanent gig in Status Quo. The Herd’s recordings were later assembled on the double-CD The Complete Herd by archivists Repertoire.
