Egg were an English progressive rock band formed in January 1969. The founding members of the group were Dave Stewart who played organ (not to be confused with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics), Mont Campbell on bass and vocals and drummer Clive Brooks. The band emerged from an earlier quartet formed whilst at City of London Boys School called Uriel with guitarist Steve Hillage. After Hillage left the band in August 1968, the other three continued as a trio. Having signed a deal with the Middle Earth club’s management branch, they were advised to change their name to Egg, allegedly because Uriel « sounded too much like ‘urinal’ ». In mid 1969 the band signed a deal with Decca’s ‘progressive’ sublabel Deram and released their debut album in March 1970 on their shortlived Nova series.
While not a commercial success, it was received well enough for the label to finance the recording of a follow-up, but when the time came to release it, they got cold feet and it was all but shelved, until producer Neil Slaven’s lobbying finally resulted in The Polite Force coming out in February 1971. Now signed to The Groundhogs’ management company, Egg finished the year with an increased touring schedule, but in spite of accumulating enough material for a third album, were unable to secure another record deal, and called it a day in July 1972.
In 1974, Stewart, now signed with Virgin as a member of Hatfield and the North, got a deal for Egg to record their unreleased material, which resulted in the farewell album The Civil Surface.

The other egg-related band is called THE Egg. This is, simply, Egg, and it's a fucking great band. Love how one of their songs was used for opening the Prog Rock Britannia documentary.

Boppingelf a écrit :
Why oh why have they confused two different bands with the same name and only put the one piece of their whole repertoire I tend to skip ?!!! I hope someone sorts it out so we can hear the rest !!

I just voted for the slightly bigger of the two b/w photos up for voting, and it certainly seemed to be working. There were 9 votes, and IIRC it will switch at 10 votes, so GET OVER THERE AND VOTE ALREADY. (Pics tab up there on this page)

By the way, Egg is great. Germ Patrol is awesome.

leoneb a écrit :
Why put a picture of this jerk that not even tried to see if there's already someone who has been using this name? Egg came first, they are the ones who have the rights to use the name, even if pass 10, 30 or 100 years after they disbanded.
