Ghost, The - When You're Dead - One Second (Digipack)

Studio Album, released in 1970

This group was formed by singer/guitarist Paul Eastment (formerly of Velvett Fogg) in Birmingham during 1969. Drummer Charlie Grima was formerly with the Wellington Kitch Jump Band. The original name for the band was Holy Ghost but was soon shortened in order to avoid negative publicity. Local singer/songwriter Shirley Kent later joined the group and they started recording an album in 1969 with a single being released from it entitled When You're Dead. The single and the resulting album that came out in early 1970 on the Gemini Records label, put The Ghost in the progressive music category although there was also a strong folk influence that was probably due to Shirley Kent's involvement.
