They were discovered by Stanley Myers and Barry Fantoni who spotted them playing at the Chi-Chi club one night. Myers and Fantoni had stopped in to the club and were discussing the kind of switched on song they needed for a switched-on intense movie. There they saw Romeo Z performing and subsequently enlisted the band to record the song "Kaleidoscope" which was used in the film, Kaleidoscope.^[55][56] A single-sided promo 45 of the track was released on KAL 1.^[57] The song also appeared on the soundtrack that was released in October that year.^[58][59]

The Foundations

Main article: The Foundations

In 1967 he became a member of the multi-racial English soul group The Foundations, playing in the horn section with Jamaican saxophonists Mike Elliott and Pat Burke.^[2] Allandale was working at night and he went along to hear The Foundations. He said they weren't getting any work done, just practicing for four, five and six hours a day. Because he was working nights, he decided to join the group.^[64]

While with The Foundations, Allandale came no. 14 in the Brass & Woodwind category of the 1967 Beat Instrumental Gold Star Awards.^[65][66]

He played on their hits "Baby, Now That I've Found You", "Back on My Feet Again", "Build Me Up Buttercup" and "In the Bad Bad Old Days" and was a member of the band until it broke up in 1970.^{[citation needed]}

In the December 14, 1967 issue of Melody Maker, Eric Allandale was supposedly interviewed for the In the New Blind Date section. A sketch of Mike Elliott was used instead of his, which could also suggest that it was Elliott was interviewed instead of him.^{[67][68][69][70]}

It was reported by Melody maker in the September 14, 1968 issue that the group was trying out Warren Davis of the Warren Davis Monday Band to replace Clem Curtis. It was reported that in the same month, The Foundations had performed at the Brave New World in Portsmouth without drummer Tim Harris who was out of action due to a poisoned arm. Eric Allandale filled in for him as the drummer. They were also set to go into the studio in October to record and it was speculated that it would be with the new singer.^[71] During his time with the group, Allandale acted as a type of spokesperson for them.^[64][65][72]

Allandale would do some work on the Foundations single "Baby, I Couldn't See" in 1969.^{[73][citation needed]}

Songwriting and production

Compositions

An early example of his composition ability was Romeo Z's "Come Back Baby Come Back" where he shared the credits with S. Charman, C. Charman, and J. Elbows. he co-wrote the B side with C. Charman.^{[74] [citation needed]})

He wrote a number of songs that were recorded by the Foundations as well as other artists. The first appearance of his solo song writing efforts was on the flip side of the Foundations third single, "Any Old Time (You're Lonely And Sad)" called "We Are Happy People". This song was also recorded by a Scandinavian group called Slams Creepers, backed with "I Just Couldn't Get You Out of My Mind" and released in 1968 on Bill BT 128. It was a hit for them and made it into the Scandinavian Top Five.^[75][76] It was also released as the flip side to a 1969 single, "Remains To Be Seen", recorded by Irish show band The Pacific Show Band, released on Tribune TRS 125.^[77] It was also re-recorded by The Foundations featuring Colin Young and appeared on their 1968 Marble Arch album.^{[citation needed]} According to the April 26, 1969 issue of Billboard, nine different acts in as many countries had recorded the song.^[76]

Other songs written by him were "I Can Feel It",^[78] "Who Am I ?"^[79] (^{[citation needed]}) and "Solomon Grundy".^[80] This latter song which appeared on the album, Digging The Foundations, was covered by Pye labelmates Pickettywitch,^[81] and a Hong Kong-based beat group, Danny Diaz & The Checkmates. Allandale was commissioned to write a straight pop song for this band from the Philppines. Allandale and The Foundations also hosted their visit to London.^[82][83] It was the song that Polly Brown and Pickettywitch were first noticed with when they appeared on ITV's Opportunity Knocks television talent show.^[84] It was also the B-side of Pickettywitch's 1969 debut single "You've Got Me So I Don't Know".^[85]

With "Born to Live, Born to Die", which Allandale composed, he also served as musical director^[72][86] Allandale had composed for the group before, but this was his first attempt in composing an A side for The Foundations.^[72] Strings were also incorporated into the recording. Allandale also had an idea to use bells for the intro and they were looking everywhere for the right sound until he went to the BBC library and made his choice from 2,000 samples. The result was that the group was happier with this record as previously with Tony Macaulay, he stopped them from doing other things.^[87] With their review in the September 13, 1969 issue, Cash Box said there was an improved production quality and the step into the new sound for the group which was turned up one of their strongest singles since their last top forty surge. The magazine also noted the interesting lyric and performance which could result in an enticement for FM making heavy sales.^[88] His composition "I Can Feel It"^[89] was covered by German-based American supply sergeant and singer Chuck Bennett as well as Mac Kissoon.^[90][91][92] Bennett's version was released on Vogue Schallplatten (DV 11000) and reached the German charts.^[91] Kissoon's version appears on his Souled Out album.^[92]

With James Mpungo he wrote "Ave Africa", which appears on Sunburst's 1976 album.^[93]

Production

In February 1968, Beat Instrumental announced that Barry Class who managed The Foundations had started his own label, Trend Records Ltd. The label already had two records for release that month, "Breaking Up a Dream", by the Ways and Means, and "Speak To Me" by the Explosion. The pressing duties were to be handled by Saga Records. Allandale (spelt as Eric Allan Dale) was named as a producer for the label. The article stated that Allandale's group The Foundations would not have releases on the label.^[94]

Working with John Worsley he co-directed the recording of "Baby, I Couldn't See" for The Foundations. The song was written by Worsley and David Myers^[95] who had left Southern Music to join Barry Class' Trend label in 1969.^[96] Even though Class was credited as the executive producer, Allandale may have had some hand in the production as he was taken on as a producer in 1968.^[97][98] The song did enjoy some popularity in Holland where it was minor hit. Making it on to the Dutch Tipparade chart, it peaked there at no. 8 on week three.^[99][100]

In 1972 a group called Tramp Sonic released a single on RCA called "You're A Man" backed with "Catch A Southbound Train". Allandale wrote the tunes for both sides as well as produced them.^[101] "You're a Man" appeared on the Hits Vol.3 Dance Classics album in 1992. The song was credited to Tramps.^[102]

Later years

Some time after the Foundations broke up he went to Zambia with a soul band called Matata to play for its independence celebrations.^[1] He also joined other musicians in a band that played African jazz and the band became popular locally. He taught music to students in Zambia. learned carving crafts, and then moved to Kenya.^[1] He was a member of the band Sunburst and played on the group's 1976 album, Ave Africa.^[103]

After four years in Africa he returned to England. In 1977 he played jazz with Laurie Chescoe, a former bandmate from his early jazz years. He tried to reunite with Tim Harris, the former drummer for The Foundations, but was unsuccessful. He opened a junk shop with his partner Olive in Peckham, South London.

In 1981 Allandale went to Paris and worked with Sam Woodyard, former drummer with the Duke Ellington orchestra. He moved to a commune near the Pyrenees and was a founding member of the St Andre Blues Band. In 1983 he returned to England and started a relationship with an artist called Simone and began painting. He worked with an Afro-Caribbean group and later moved back to Paris. In 1989 he had a brain haemorrhage but recovered enough to play the keyboard.^[1]

Allandale was one of the Southwark Blue Plaque nominees in 2017.^[104]

Personal life

Allandale was born to parents Donald and Darling and had two younger brothers, Derek and Stafford. He was formerly a Catholic. One of his hobbies was painting.^[52]

Death

He suffered a stroke in 1999 and died on 23 August 2001 at the age of 65.^[1] He was survived by his former wife Lottie, and their three sons. He also had another son who survived him.^[7] His wake was held on the 100 year old Dutch barge Dora, owned by his former partner Olive Allison which is still moored by Tower Bridge on the river Thames
