1966 to February 1968

The Maze  

People involved

Chris Banham (kbr); Rod Evans (vcl); Eric 'Jack' Keene (bss); Roger Lewis (gtr); Ian Paice (drm).

The MI 5 became The Maze and released three singles - one of them in Italy, in Italian! - and an EP. Says Roger Lewis: "The EP we made was recorded in Italy (Milan), in Feb/March 1967, released in France ... It was recorded live - that is, without overdubs as we wanted to reproduce the sound we used to get on stage."
