This is what the 'Encyclopedia of British Beat Groups & Solo Artists of the Sixties' has to say : FLEURS DE LYS - Bryn Haworth (guitar, vocals), Pete Sears (guitar), Gordon Raskell (bass) and Keith Guster (drums) were a popular London club band of the mid to late sixties. They started off recording for Immediate, for whom their singles included 'Moondreams' in 1965 (produced by Jimmy Page) and 'Circles' the following year. They later moved to Atlantic, recording 'Stop Crossing That Bridge' and 'Liar' in 1968 and 1969 respectively. They also did a little ditty called 'Gong With The Luminous Nose'. Haworth returned in the mid-seventies as a solo artist on Island, while Sears went into session work (for Rod Stewart among others) before moving to San Francisco and joining Jefferson Starship. Other member at various times were Brian Potter and bassist Phil Sawyer, who joined The Spencer Davis Group in 1967. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. The 'Circles' b/w 'So Come On' 45 is on 'The Immediate Alternative' on Sequel and AIP placed 'Gong With The Luminous Nose' on the first volume of 'Electric Sugar Cube Flashbacks'. The ultra rare 'Chocolate Sout For Diabetics' series includes 'Circles' on Vol II and 'Mud In Your Eye' on Vol III. 'Liar' appears on a volume of 'Perfumed Garden' (Psycho) but those comps are so uneven I sold them years ago. OK so they include 'Grounded' (the Syn) and 'Security' (Thane Russell), songs which Jeff *Conolloid* now plays, but there is some dire hippy stuff too. Over and out from collectors corner...

I have a TERRIBLE book claiming to be a psychedelic encyclopedia called The Acid Trip:A Complete Guide To Psychedelic Music by Vernon Joynson (1984 - Babylon Books UK). He also lists "Gordon Raskell" as bassist for FdL. Raskell is obviously a typo for Haskell, so we see now that not only did the book steal sources, they even stole errors!

I was just listening to the first Real Kids album on Thursday and wondering, "where the hell is John Felice?"
