   The Crazy World of Arthur Brown — a big hit with their debut album, but the proposed 2nd album was too weird for release (and honestly not that good either) so the band broke up. The unreleased album was released about 10 years later on a small label (Strangelands).

Arthur Brown meanwhile went on with a very interesting career both with Kingdom Come and as a solo artist.

	Talking about Chris Squire (someone did, no?), did Esquire had more than one album?

	Did you ever wish some more adventures of Olias? Jon seems to be preparing The Songs of Zamran: Son of Olias.

	1) Ghost Medicine - Discontinuance (2016) Infinitely talented Jared Leach blew me away with this recent release--one of my favorite albums of the 21st Century and one of the great guitar tour de forces of all-time--but has not come back with anything new. (He was exploring the world of Electronica last time we communicated). 2) Demen - Nektyr (2017) A product of reclusive young Swede Irma Orm, this hauntingly beautiful album is also among my favorite revelations of the 21st Century. If Robin Guthrie and Elizabeth Fraser had had a baby, this would be her music. Recent communication with Irma has revealed that she is "working on new material." I'm just impatient. 3) Babylon - Babylon (1978) Rumors of follow ups and reunions abound but none has ever occurred. 4) Khan - Space Shanty (1972) 5) Fotheringay - Fotheringay (1970) A release of material from a second album that the Sandy Denny fronted band was working on came out "2" in 2008 and a live album of one of their performances from 1970 in 2011 but I've always loved that 1970 album and felt that the band could have really left a mark in the Prog Folk scene had they stuck together. 6) Ptarmigan - Ptarmigan (1975) One of my all-time favorite Prog Folk albums, there are several songs to be found from a second album the band was supposedly working on--as well as some weird stuff released in the 2000s that I've never been able to verify as being from this Vancouver-based band. 7) Windchase - Symphinity (1977) though a band that rose from the ashes of Sebastian Hardie, I've always loved this album much more than the Hardie albums and wished that they had continued. 8) Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water (1975) one of the finest, most successful/acclaimed solo albums by a member of Prog's elite yet never followed up!!! Why, Chris, Why? (Obviously, we'll never know.) 9) Cervello - Melos (1973) our introduction to 17-year old guitar phenom Corrado Rustici. One of my all-time favorite RPI/J-R Fusion albums, followed up by a 2017 recording of a one-off concert done in Japan--an amazing album--playing the entire Melos album plus one. Though band members went on to other projects (Nova, production and solo work), that magic of Melos would have been welcome in more releases. Such talent! 10) Laurent Thibault - Mais on ne peux pas rêver tout le temps (1978) an absolutely gorgeous album from a Magma alum, I wish, I wish, I wish we had more from this composer/performer.

	1) Blind Faith: One semi-decent album, one disastrous tour. 2) Keats: Put together by producer Alan Parsons, this band notoriously broke up upon the completion of their only album without ever playing even one live gig. With keyboardist Pete Bardens from Camel and Alan Parsons Project veterans Colin Blunstone (vocals), Ian Bairnson (guitars), David Paton (bass), and Stuart Elliott (drums), the music was very similar to the early-1980s Project albums. The album, while far from a masterpiece, will always have a place in my heart in spite of a hideous album cover. One "lost" song did turn up on the remastered CD, but there were no other follow-ups. 3) Re: Wetton/Manzanera: One follow-up song was recorded two years after their only album. It was an instrumental called "Sphinx" and released under Phil's name on a various-artists album called Guitar Speak.

	Wetton - Manzanera (I don't know if they actually did a second attempt, anyway)

	Second Helpings. We all want them from time to time, but sometimes Mr. Bumble just isn't accommodating. This is a One and Done with a hint of second helpings thread. A couple of examples... Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - ST GTR - ST 3 - To the Power of Three Each one had a single official studio release. I won't count Live follow up albums for obvious reasons. However, each one did have an 'unofficial release' of demos that were meant for a second album. Whether the material was worthy of a second go can certainly be debated. ABWH - We Make Believe GTR - Nerotrend 3.2 - The Rules Have Changed (even though it was considered an 'official' release, It didn't really have the participation of all the original members...you know what I mean) So what other bands had their first helping, went back for seconds, but were denied by the evil Mr. Bumble (record execs)? Which is to say...they actually created more new material for a second album that never saw an official release.
