Casey Jones & The Engineers
Casey Jones Tom McGuinness Dave McCumisky Ray Smith Eric Clapton 
Casser had originally led one of Liverpool's leading groups, Cass
& the Cassanova's, from 1959-60. The other members of the group ousted
him and became the Big Three. He moved to London in 1961 and became the
manager of the Blue Gardenia club in Soho.
In 1963, after the Liverpool groups had exploded in a big way, he
decided to put another group together and formed the Engineers. Clapton
and McGuinness were only with the band for a few weeks and Casser brought
in David Coleman and Roger Cook to replace them. They only released one single in Britain before moving to Germany where
they proved more popular under the name Casey Jones and the Governors,
having several chart entries and recording two LP's for the Gold 12
label. Single 1963 One Way Ticket/I'm Gonna Love Columbia DB 7083 -
