Procession were an Australian psychedelic band formed in Melbourne in 1967. The band was composed of drummer Craig Collinge, organist Trevor Griffin, bassist/vocalist Brian Peacock, and guitarist/vocalist Mick Rogers, all members of previous bands. They were described by Glenn A. Baker as one of the most ambitious bands in the Australian music scene in their time, in spite of a lack of commercial success. They were regularly championed in Go-Set magazine and had their own segment on music TV show Uptight, of which their manager was the producer. Their debut single, "Anthem", was an acapella, while their debut album was recorded live. They were also the first in Australia to record on eight-track equipment. They relocated to London in mid-1968 and released a self-titled studio album in the following year. Ross Wilson, later of Daddy Cool, replaced Rogers in April 1969. but the group disbanded in September. Rogers later joined Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Collinge was later a member of British proto-punk band, Third World War, and briefly played drums in the notorious "fake" Fleetwood Mac in 1973. Early years Procession were formed in October 1967 by members of two earlier Australasian pop groups, Normie Rowe's long-time backing band, the Playboys, and New Zealand group, the Librettos. The Librettos had formed in Wellington as a beat-pop group in 1960 and by 1965 they relocated to Sydney, where they included Craig Collinge (born 24 August 1948, Sydney) on drums and Brian Peacock (born 27 June 1946, Levin, New Zealand) on bass guitar and vocals. The Librettos broke up in June of the following year, with Peacock joining the Playboys and Collinge forming a heavy rock-trio, the Knack. The Playboys had formed in July 1963 as an instrumental group in Melbourne and in November 1966 they relocated to London where they were the backing band for Rowe. In March 1967 Trevor Griffin (born 22 December 1944, Birmingham, England) joined on organ from the Question Marks. A month later Mick Rogers joined on guitar. While still with Rowe, the Playboys signed to Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label and recorded a one-off single, “Black Sheep R.I.P” (August 1967). By then Rowe and the Playboys had returned to Australia and in October the group split from Rowe and Collinge had joined on drums. They were renamed as Procession with the line-up of Collinge on drums, Griffin on organ, Peacock on bass guitar and vocals, and
