Warm Dust
Warm Dust were a British progressive jazz rock band of the early 1970s. Although a relatively obscure group, they featured Paul Carrack and Terry "Tex" Comer, who later formed Ace. They recorded for the Trend and BASF labels. They also had releases on the Uni, Stateside and Metronome labels.
According to the 9 October 1971 issue of Record Mirror and The Self Portrait Gospel, Warm Dust came about when two groups The Milwaukee Coasters and Jasmine Tea (Jasmin T.) appeared at Hamburg's Top Ten club in 1969. The meeting of the musicians was the beginning of Warm Dust. Even though the band was ignored by the UK media, they did get some good coverage in the English music trade magazines.
With at least one member coming from Sheffield in England, they played music in the jazz rock and psych genre. The members included, Les Walker, Paul Carrack, John Surguy, Alan Solomon, Terry "Tex" Comer, Dave Pepper, Keith Bailey and John Bedson. The original version of the group had four members. The line-up then was Les Dransfield Walker (lead vocals, harp, guitar), Paul Carrack (organ, piano, guitar), Dave Pepper (drums) and Terry Corner (bass guitar, recorder). The group then added two other members, John Surgey (tenor sax) and Alan Solomon (sax) who they met when they had their one-month residency at Hamburg's Top Ten club.
It was in 1970 that they released their debut album And It Came to Pass on the Trend label.
According to Alan Kilburn in the 28 November 1970 issue of Melody Maker, the group was grossly underrated in England but big on the continent. It was speculated that their first album sold better in France. The group themselves had drawn comparisons with how they were received overseas, and at home with the British media not being helpful with the new wave of British artists that had emerged in recent times.
Years later, Paul Carrack was quoted as saying, "We were quite an interesting little band of hippies playing this mad music".
Warm Dust were booked to appear at the first Internationales Essener Pop & Blues Festival on Thursday, 9 October 1969. Fleetwood Mac was the headline act and other supporting acts besides Warm Dust were Pretty Things, Spooky Tooth, Yes, Keef Hartley, Free, and Hard Meat.
Warm Dust had their launch at the Paradiso club in Amsterdam. Negram Records man Evert Wilbrink and Class International director Rod Harrod organized the reception. Warm Dust had also signed a contract to perform in Holland with the Paul Acket Agency. There was also a good sales prediction for the group's 2LP, It Came to Pass.
