Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Seems that KSHE used the Blodwyn Pig logo in different ways.
Tom Wilkes is credited as designing the US "target" album cover and the design for the UK cover is credited to John Williams so I would assume that John Williams is the one who should be claiming royalties from KSHE

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Now this is a bit of a mystery. Sometime in 1970, possibly in the summer of that year, Mick Abrahams left Blodwyn Pig and was replaced by Peter Banks.
Shortly afterwards Larry Wallis was added to the lineup but by late 1970 the band split after I believe three or four gigs and possibly a BBC radio session.
This is the only photo I can find of Blodwyn Pig minus Mick Abrahams.
The mark II lineup was therefore:
Peter Banks (guitar), Ron Berg (drums), Jack Lancaster (saxophones), Andy Pyle (bass) and Larry Wallis (vocals & guitar)
Andy Pyle is on the right of the photo and I reckon that Ron Berg is second from the right with Jack Lancaster on the left. If anyone can definately identify who is who in the photo it would be great.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Now I'm confused
Just found this lineup of Blodwyn Pig minus Mick Abrahams.
The original caption says:
Left to right - Barry Reynolds, Andy Pyle, Pete Banks, Ron Berg and Jack Lancaster.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Mick Abrahams left the band in 1970 and released his s/t solo album in 1971. Larry Wallis and Peter Banks came in. They toured for a short while under the name Blodwyn but broke up shortly after.
No question that's Peter Banks second from the left. I can't see him fitting in with the style of music of Blodwyn Pig. Maybe that's why it never materialised. Larry Wallis went onto UFO, Pink Faries, and Motorhead. Berg and Pyle went on to a short stint with Savoy Brown and then to Juicy Lucy for the recording of "Pieces" from 1972 which was awful.

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
I know Andy Pyle re-united with Mick in later manifestations of BP and I think also recorded with him on some of Mick's later albums.
Wasn't Pete(r) Banks something to do with Yes at some stage?
Thanks for the info Joe

Re: Blodwyn Pig & Mick Abrahams
Peter Banks was the first guitarist for Yes and was replaced by Steve Howe after thier second album. He then formed Flash, very similar to the sound of Yes. The vocalist very reminescent of Jon Anderson. After three albums the band folded and he released a solo album titled The Two Sides of Peter Banks(1973). A fantastic album with contributions from Jan Hammer, John Wetton, Phil Collins amongst others. He then formed Empire which sounded similar to Flash with his wife Sydney Foxx on vocals. Phil Collins played on the first album. The band recorded three albums between '74-'78 and were re-issued on CD in the late '90's. He released several more solo in the '90's.
