Peter B's Looners (also sometimes called Peter B's) were formed by Pete Bardens and Mick Fleetwood in 1966, following the breakup of their previous band, the Cheynes. The original lineup, in addition to Bardens and Fleetwood, included Dave Ambrose (ex-Steampacket) on bass and Mick Parker on guitar. An instrumental outfit, they were signed to EMI's Columbia label, but Parker had exited before they got around to recording their sole single release, If You Wanna Be Happy b/w Jodrell Blues, with guitar chores on that record were handled by Peter Green in his debut recording. Despite the impressive names involved, Peter B's Looners proved a transitional vehicle for all concerned and the group had split up by the end of 1966. Ambrose became a member of Brian Auger the Trinity, while Green moved on to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. There, he hooked up with John McVie, and was later joined by Fleetwood, and together they formed Fleetwood Mac. Meanwhile, Bardens moved on to form Shotgun Express, passed through the lineup of Them, and a solo career that ultimately led to his forming Camel. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
