Les Fleur de Lys Biography

Les Fleur de Lys were a British band originally formed in late 1964, in Southampton, Hampshire, England. They recorded singles beginning in 1965 in the mod-psychedelic music genre, later known as freakbeat. Known for their varied line-ups, only drummer Keith Guster was a member throughout their history. They finally disbanded in 1969. Keyboardist Pete Sears went on to play with Jefferson Starship.

Les Fleur de Lys were managed by Atlantic Records' Frank Fenter, who had also discovered Sharon Tandy, the first white artist to record for Stax Records. Together, they produced a string of near-chart hits which later became collectable discs. They also recorded "Reflections of Charles Brown" under the name "Rupert's People". This single, heavily reminiscent of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale", failed to chart despite receiving airplay but is now considered a collectable item according to Record Collector Magazine (Issue c. 1992).

Jimmy Page produced their first single and co-produced their second release with Glyn Johns. They are featured on Hip Young Guitar Slinger and other reissues of 1960s British rock. A compilation of their work was issued in 1996 under the name Reflections.

They backed John Bromley on his only L.P.
