The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown is Arthur’s debut album released in 1968.

The album was released on Track Records in the UK in 1968 Cat No 612 005 and has been re issued on CD in the UK in 1995, and in the USA with bonus tracks though both are currently out of print.

This album has been re issued again by the label Cherry Red records and has the additional tracks of a BBC Session from 1968 with Ron Wood on bass and an alternate mix of Fire though as we have yet to see this CD we can’t give you any indication of the sound quality compared to the polydor CD. It’s a shame that there wasn’t more archive material added to this set like the SVT popside session.
