  • Collective Consciousness Society, more commonly known as CCS, were a British musical group, led by blues guitarist Alexis Korner. Formed in 1970 by musical director John Cameron and record producer Mickie Most, CCS consisted largely of session musicians, and was created primarily as a recording outfit. The personnel also included Peter Thorup, vocals; Alan Parker, guitar; Harold McNair, flute; Herbie Flowers, bass; Roger Coulam, keyboards; Barry Morgan, drums; plus Don Lusher and Bill Geldard, trombone. Some of the musicians were also members of Blue Mink. CCS are best known for their instrumental version of Led Zeppelin's 1969 track "Whole Lotta Love", which got into in the UK Singles Chart in 1970, and was used as the theme music for the BBC pop programme Top of the Pops for most of the 1970s, and, in a remixed version, between 1997 and 2003. Technically, the TOTP theme was not by CCS, but was recorded by the TOTP orchestra one morning before the day's rehearsals. Having said that, the band was conducted by John Cameron on that occasion and many of the musicians were CCS regulars. This enabled the production to tailor the tune to the correct duration and, more importantly, avoided the weekly payment of royalties to the record label. Their highest-charting singles were the Donovan song "Walkin'", and "Tap Turns on the Water". They also recorded three albums, including cover versions of the old blues standard "Boom Boom", "Living in the Past", and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" as well as original material. A retrospective compilation album, Singles As, Bs and Rarities was released in 2004.

  • Collective Consciousness Society, paremmin tunnettu nimellä CCS, oli brittiläinen rockyhtye, jonka keulahahmo oli blues-kitaristi Alexis Korner. Yhtyeen perustivat vuonna 1970 John Cameron ja tuottaja Mickie Most, CCS koostui useasta studiomuusikosta, ja perustettiin aluksi äänityksiä varten. Mukana olivat myös Peter Thorup, laulu; Alan Parker, kitara; Harold McNair, huilu; Herbie Flowers, basso; Roger Coulam, koskettimet; Barry Morgan, rummut; Don Lusher ja Bill Geldard, vetopasuuna. Jotkut soittajista olivat Blue Mink -nimisen bändin jäseniä. CCS tunnetaan parhaiten Led Zeppelinin vuoden 1969 kappaleen "Whole Lotta Love" instrumentaaliversiosta, joka nousi Britannian singlelistalle 1970. Sitä käytettiin tunnussävelmänä suositussa BBC-ohjelmassa Top of the Pops 1970-luvulla ja myöhemminkin remiksattuna versiona. CCS:n myydyimmät singlet olivat Donovanin laulut "Walkin" ja "Tap Turns on the Water". He levyttivät kolme albumia, jotka sisälsivät esimerkiksi cover-version blues-standardista "Boom Boom", Jethro Tullin "Living in the Past" ja Rolling Stonesin "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Kokoelmalevy "Singles As, Bs and Rarities" julkaistiin vuonna 2004.
