The Paramounts

In the early 60s, Trower moved to London, where he played in various local bands. In 1962, he formed a short-lived, but renowned The Paramounts. The band mainly played rhythm-and-blues covers. Their version of Poison Ivy hit #35 on the UK charts. The band also released a number of other cover singles but split in 1966.
