The End was a British psychedelic pop band formed in 1965 by Dave Brown (bass, vocals) and Colin Giffin (guitar, lead vocals) following the demise of The Innocents. Nick Graham (keyboards, vocals) and John Horton (saxophone) joined from Dickie Pride's backing group, The Original Topics, and Roger Groom (drums) of The Tuxedos completed the line-up. The band was produced by Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman, who arranged for them to tour with his group. After the tour, Grooms quit and was replaced by Hugh Atwooll, an old friend of Graham. Horton would also quit, but continued to work with the band on their second single, "Shades of Orange". In 1969, the band released their only album, Introspection.
==Links to Peel==
The band did two sessions for Peel's show in 1968, but by the end of 1970, he rarely played any of their material, which by that time, the group had already split up. On his 18 April 1990 show, Peel played 30 seconds of their track, 'Shades Of Orange', on his show for listeners to identify the track, as one of the engineers had recorded the song from Peel's show in the 60's and wanted to know who it was by. Peel himself couldn't identify the track on the show, although admittedly he mentioned that he could sing along to it.
