Close, but no cigar - Dracken had a 'breakdown' near the end of the
Crazy World of Arthur Brown tour, brought on by drugs, drink, constant
gigging and the fact that the tour had lasted 3 years, had covered most
of the world and was getting them nowhere.

When the Crazy World split up, Vince Crane (RIP) formed Atomic Rooster,
and Arthur nicked off back to England.  After about 18 months he'd
formed Kingdom Come.
The first 2 LP's _Galactic Zoo Dossier_ and _Kingdom Come_ had full band
line-ups, but the third (and perhaps finest LP ever) _Journey_ featured
bass, guitar, VC3, vocals and a Bentley drum machine.  This was
(apparently) the first album to use a beat-box properly and not just for
FX.

Trivia McNut.
(Chris).
