- Band history In 1965, Jurgen Peter joined up with Bob Burgess
(vocals), Al Birmingham (lead guitar), Dick Broden/Glenn Holmes (bass),
and Peter Symes (drums) to form The Haunted. Besides Peter, the other
constant band member through most of its six year history was
Birmingham. The band membership that recorded the band's best known
song, "1-2-5" was composed of Birmingham (lead guitar), Peter (rhythm
guitar), Burgess (vocals), Mason Shea (bass) and Dave Wynne (drums).[2]The
band's first big break came after winning a Battle Of The Bands at the
Montreal Forum in 1965, beating such competitors as David
Clayton-Thomas and the Shays. The first prize was studio time,
bankrolled by Radio Deejay Dave Boxer, that they used to record the two
songs on their first single, "1-2-5", with "Eight O'Clock This Morning"
as the B-side. Record salesman Don Wayne Patterson convinced band to
hire him as manager and he convinced execs at Quality Records to be
enthusiastic about "1-2-5" but objected to the original lyrics, so a
"clean" version with different lyrics was also recorded. The single
(with the alternate "clean" lyrics) was released on Quality in early
1966. The first pressing of this record had the band name misprinted as
"The Hunted."[3] Ironically, the later pressings with the band's name
correctly spelled, are now more difficult to locate.The
single achieved substantial local success, then broke nationally,
making the Canadian version of the national charts (RPM Weekly
Magazine.) The song gained enough attention in the US to attract a US
release of the single on the Amy record label, who released the
original "uncensored" version. Several more singles, as well as a
self-titled album over the next two years, served to increase their
popularity. They released a second 45 rpm with Quality and another song
Mona on Don Wayne's Jet Record label.The band grew to be one of the most in demand bands in Canada for the balance of the 1960s and into the early 1970s.Jet Records (Canada 1967) Reg. – Don Wayne Patterson
