Paul's Idea .....

Paul's Idea was a Christchurch pop group which featured Paul Muggleston (Rhythm), Dave Chapman (Lead), Kevin Frewer (Organ), Pete Ward (Drums).  The group recorded one single on the Robbins Recordings label "Cia Amore" / "Ape Call" in 1969, with Paul Muggleston (Rhythm), Dave Chapman (Lead), Neville Claughton (Bass), Peter Goldsmith (Organ) and Pete Ward (Drums).  The recording used one of Robbin's old Rola 2-tracks and was engineered by Keith Robbin's son-in-law, John Phair.  According to Neville Claughton, the sound effects included "a trash can with empty grog bottles in it".  The group appeared at the Denton Park Rock Festival in Christchurch cica 1970, promoted as The Idea.

Paul Baron .....

At the very end of the sixties, Paul Muggleston attempted to create a new identity by recording a country and western ballad-type song called Daddy In Your Mind based on his strong emotions about the untimely loss of his dad.  This track was recorded under the name of an alter ego of Paul's - Paul Baron - and was released on the Christchurch-based Orly label in 1969.  Unfortunately, despite a correct promotional poster having been distributed, the record label was incorrectly set with two major errors.  The intended "A-side" was set as Daddy ON Your Mind, and presented as the "B-side" on the label.  The intended flipside was Don't Leave Me In My World, which received the designation of "A-side" on the label.  Regretably, the record was pressed and released as such!  Paul Baron appeared at the Denton Park Rock Festival in Christchurch cica 1970, as did his then group Paul's Idea - shown on the Festival poster as The Idea.....
