ARTHUR BROWN
THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN
TRACK RECORDS #SD 8198
VINTAGE 1968 12" STEREO VINYL LP
ORIGINAL 1968 PRESSING
Produced by Kit Lambert & Pete Townshend
Back in summer 1968, THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN was on top of the world. Famously promoted by performances with Arthur Brown wearing a burning helmet, 'Fire!' was a massive worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and Canada and eventually reaching the Top 10 in America (No. 2), France, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and Ireland. The band's second single on Track Records, co-produced by The Who's Pete Townshend, it bridged the gap between London's flourishing, colorful psychedelic underground and the mainstream pop scene. The resulting album, THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN, was a theatrical, ambitious concept album based around the elements (Fire being just one of four, of course). Such was the huge impact of 'Fire' that the album sold in huge quantities, peaking at No. 2 in the UK and No. 7 in America. The Beatles were the only other British band to enjoy such unprecedented sales with such ambitious, psychedelic LPs.
