Please were formed by Peter Dunton and Bernie Jinks in late 1967. They had just returned to Britain from Germany where they had played with Neon Pearl, which also included their third member Jurgen Ermisch. The fourth original member Adrian Gurvitz later co-founded Gun. Unfortunately this line-up left no vinyl legacy or unreleased recordings that have been located behind it. They disbanded in May 1968 when Peter Dunton joined The Flies for whom he wrote both sides of their Magic Train 45. When The Flies split up at the end of 1968, Dunton reformed the band (line-up 'B'). Rob Hunt had also been in The Flies. They recorded all the cuts compiled on this album. Please split again in April 1969 when Peter Dunton joined Gun. The remaining members recruited a new drummer and renamed themselves Bulldog Breed. They later cut the Made In England album. In the Autumn of 1969, Peter Dunton quit Gun to reform Please with Bernie Jinks and Nick Spenser (ex-Neon Pearl). This incarnation was relatively short-lived as they had difficulty recruiting a suitable keyboard player. In early 1970 Dunton, Jinks and a later Bulldog Breed member Keith Cross joined forces to form T2, who were responsible for the excellent It'll All Work Out In Boomland album. One of T2's tracks, No More White Horses also crops up in a radically different form on Please's 1968/69 retrospective.

Dr. Marigold's Prescription

Members: Alan French (keyboards), Bill Friend (bass), Dave Morris (drums), Fred Radley (guitar, vocals).
In the early days Dr Marigold did back several artists to include:
Bruce Channel (USA), John Walker (Walker brothers) USA, The Flirtations, Madeline Bell, Dominic Grant was not a member of the band, although Dr. Marigold backed him for a while on a promotional tour.
DMP evolved from a group called "The Followers"based around North and East London in 1967. They took on a girl singer,a very good one,but lost her when they recorded their first single, released on the PYE label in 1969.They did work with "Billy Fury" on and off between 1968 and 1970 but were ambitious and wanted their own career. Their fisrt single was called "My Old Man's A Groovy Old Man"written by two members of 60's hit group the "Easy Beat".During their career they worked with the great "Bruce Channel"of "Hey Baby" fame.They appeared on the "Basil Brush" show twice,the "Roger Whittaker" show and many "Radio One shows".Not only were they a very professional outfit but were also very good friends and that friendship has lasted right up until now.

Команда образовалась в 1967 году в Лондоне на базе группы The Followers. Название взято от одноименной повести Чарльза Диккенса "Рецепты доктора Мериголда", только в названии группы оно в единственном числе: Рецепт доктора Мериголда. По словам клавишника Алана Френча, "мы выбрали это название, потому что оно звучало очень психоделически, это название одной повести Чарльза Диккенса, очень хорошей кстати." В состав вошли: клавишник Алан Френч, бас-гитарист Билл Френд, барабанщик Дейв Моррис, главный вокалист и гитарист Фред Рэдли. 

Сначала у них была певица Дженни, но она ушла, когда группа записала свой первый сингл в 1968 году на PYE Records. Это была песня "My Old Man's a Groovy Old Man" (Мой старик - балдежный старик), которая была хитом начала шестидесятых у группы The Easybeats. В то время Doctor Marigold's Prescription выступали много и в самых невероятных местах, например на американских и британских военных базах, а также по клубам центрального Лондона, несколько раз засветились на Радио 1 БиБиСи и на телевидении. 

Потеряв одну девушку, группа обрела сразу нескольких - на какое-то время Doctor Marigold's Prescription были просто аккомпанирующей командой для девичьего вокального трио Chantelles. Они завербовались на круизные корабли, где совмещали работу с отдыхом, путешествуя по Средиземному и Карибскому морям. Однажды в лондонском пабе под названием "Дублинский замок" они познакомились с легендарным Билли Фьюри и стали его аккомпанирующей командой. Фьюри был невероятно популярной поп-звездой Великобритании конца 1950-х, начала 1960-х. Неся на себе элвисовскую харизму (он даже также как Элвис крутил тазом), и будучи не чужд рок-н-роллу, он побивал в добитловскую эпоху все рекорды продажи пластинок. К концу шестидесятых, когда его повстречали Doctor Marigold's Prescription, слава Билли Фьюри конечно померкла. И все же их тепло встречали по городам и весям Англии. Следующим, кому аккомпанировали Doctor Marigold's Prescription стал американский певец Брюс Чаннел, дважды приезжавший на гастроли в Великобританию. Оба раза группа гастролировала с ним, а также записалась на Радио Один БиБиСи. 

В 1969 вышел второй сингл группы - "You've Got To Build Your Love On A Solid Foundation"/"Pictures Of Life". Обе песни вошли в дебютный альбом. Все это не имело никакого коммерческого успеха. Пластинки попросту говоря не продавались. Отсюда их дефицит и высокая цена сегодня. PYE Records больше не захотела иметь дело с группой, и следующий - третий сингл - вышел в октябре 1970 уже на Bell Records - "Sing Along Sing Along Sing Along"/"Farmer Jim". Сингл очень часто крутили на Радио Один, но продажам пластинки это не помогло, зато группа была сильно востребована на концерты. 

Вернон Джойнсон сильно не прав в своей энциклопедии малоизвестных британских исполнителей The Tapestry Of Delights, называя Doctor Marigold's Prescription "довольно заурядной группой, название которой обещает нечто большее." Смотря чего ожидать. Скорее всего, название и обложки сыграли обратный эффект, вводя слушателя в заблуждение. На самом деле, как говорится у классиков "нам подсунули гораздо лучший мех", только не психоделический. Несмотря на психоделическое название и вычурную обложку, вы не встретите здесь никакой кислотности, здесь нет роковых риффов и гитарных соло. Это поп-песни с элементами R&B и соул, но они уникальны благодаря своеобразному вокалу Фреда Рэдли и интересному инструментальному звучанию, густо аранжированному клавишными. Какое-то представление об их песнях может дать сравнение с ранними альбомами группы Bee Gees, но это чисто ассоциативное. Рэдли поет гораздо жестче. Здесь мы имеем дело с тем случаем, когда музыка не цепляет с первого раза, зато нравится все больше и больше по мере внимательного прослушивания. 

Альбом Pictures Of Life - редкая пластинка, почти не появляется в продаже. Других переизданий не наблюдалось, кроме странного издания в США под названием Play And Sing - Hit Songs from London, вышедшего на Alshire (S-5159). Список песен абсолютно аналогичный Pictures Of Life, но обложка совсем другая. Фред Рэдли в блогах сообщил, что на обложке этого издания нет ни одного участника группы Doctor Marigold's Prescription: "там совсем другие люди, но музыка наша", и он считает, что это бутлегерский выпуск. Ему виднее, ибо авторские с этой пластинки никто не выплачивал.

B. Mitchel Reed was born Burton Mitchel Goldberg in Brooklyn on June 10, 1926. After graduating from Boy's High School in 1944, he became a navigator on a B-17 in Europe during the last year of World War II. He entered radio following a decision at the University of Illinois to forgo a career teaching political-science "for the boogie and the glamour of broadcasting." In 1956, he landed the all-night "Birdland Jazz Show" at WOR New York. In 1957, Mitch moved his "Boy On A Couch" show to KFWB Los Angeles and there became one of the original "Seven Swingin' Gentlemen" at the launch of Top 40 "Color Radio" in 1958. "The fastest tongue in the West" hosted a #1 rated 6PM-9PM high energy show using horns, bells and buzzers until February 20, 1963 when he was wooed back to his hometown as one of "The Good Guys" at WMCA New York: "I'm not talking too fast, you're listening too slow." Again rated #1, "Your Leader" spent time in London developing contacts with Brian Epstein, Derek Taylor and The Beatles which led to exclusive interviews and advance record pressings that helped break The Beatles in New York. After his final WMCA show on March 25, 1965 he was cheered by thousands at the airport, a scene that was repeated when he landed in L.A. for his return to KFWB with "The Wide Wide Weird World of BMR" where he became a voice for the counterculture. He recognized a music explosion was beginning, and he turned the evening hours into album-oriented rock programming after he met with Tom Donahue at the June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and discovered their common frustration with radio music restrictions. Donahue was PD of pioneer underground rocker KMPX-FM San Francisco and was looking for an L.A. outlet. He found KPPC-FM in the basement of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church. After the KMPX/KPPC Strike ended in June 1968, Reed and Donahue each supplied KMET-FM with four hours of taped album rock while BMR programmed the rest of KMET, one of the first 24 hour automated music stations. "The Beamer" gained validity for "Underground Radio" from the ad agencies with his afternoon drive show that finally went live in Summer 1969. He was responsible for introducing to the public many of the most influential rock musicians ever, including Joni Mitchell. He underwent successful coronary bypass surgery in 1978 and left KMET for KLOS-FM. B. Mitchel Reed "kept his mind open and his spirit free" until his death from a lingering heart condition at the age of 56 on March 16, 1983.

Machiavel (Belgium)

Belgian progressive rock band, established in the early 1970's. The debut LP from 1976 was a hybrid of classical rock and British prog in the vein of Genesis. Further albums "Jester" and "Mechanical Moonbeams" developed a more personal style and the band found it's signature sound with the addition of singer Mario Guccio. With 'Urban Games' the band moved to more commercial songs and gained a new audience, scoring a big hit with 'Fly' in 1980 inspired by the sound of The Police. In 1981 after the release of 'Break Out' they took a long sabbatical. They reformed briefly in 1987 and the real restart came in 1998 with the addition of keyboard player Hervé Borbé. They have continued since, and released their 12th studio album in 2013. They have become an unique 'artrock' band with a progressive touch.
