Born Under A Bad Sign

 

Albert King began his musical career in Osceola, Arkansas, a river town on the mighty Mississippi.  He spent a decade or more moving around the South and the Midwest before heading to Memphis, where he signed with Staxx Records. 

'Born Under A Bad Sign' is King's second studio album, released in 1967.  It consists of songs recorded during several sessions, with Booker T. and The MGs and The Memphis Horns providing the back-up.  Isaac Hayes also contributed some keyboards and piano on a few of the songs.

Gorilla

The Bonzo Dog Band... also known as The Bonzo Dog Dada Band and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band... started off as a goofball, avant garde jazz band with psychedelic overtones, eventually adding more rock 'n' roll influences to their repertoire.  

In 1967, they became the house band for a British comedy show called 'Do Not Adjust Your Set', which featured future Monty Python members Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.  They were also the only band besides The Beatles to appear in 'Magical Mystery Tour", performing the song 'Death Cab For Cutie'.  

'Gorilla' is The Bonzo's debut album, also released in 1967.
