Steampacket
(sometimes shown as Steam Packet) was a British blues band formed in
1965 by Long John Baldry with Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll, and organist
Brian Auger.
A musical revue rather than a single group, Steampacket
was formed in 1965 by Long John Baldry after the break-up of his
previous group the Hoochie Coochie Men. It included Rod Stewart who had
been with Baldry in the Hoochie Coochie Men, vocalist Julie Driscoll,
organist Brian Auger, guitarist Vic Briggs, Richard Brown aka Ricky
Fenson on bass guitar and Micky Waller on drums. They were managed by
Giorgio Gomelsky, who had previously been involved with the Rolling
Stones and the Yardbirds.
Steampacket played at various clubs,
theatres and student unions around the country, including supporting the
Rolling Stones on their 1965 British tour. Because of contractual
difficulties, however, they never formally recorded a studio or live
album. Tracks from some demo tapes they recorded at a rehearsal in the
Marquee Club were released in 1970 on the French label BYG as Rock
Generation: Volume 6 - The Steampacket (Or the First Supergroup). The
same material was later re-released under other titles, including First
of the Supergroups: Early Days and The First Supergroup: Steampacket
Featuring Rod Stewart, to cash in on Stewart's success.
