Jason Crest (formerly The Good Thing Brigade) were a Tonbridge, Kent based psychedelic pop group, active from around 1967 to 1969. Despite releasing five singles on Philips from 1967 to 1968, (including a cover of The Move's (Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree), the band were never commercially successful and disbanded towards the end of 1960s when their contract with Philips expired.
However, the singles Black Mass, Turquoise Tandem Cycle, (Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree and Place in the Sun have all appeared on the Rubble collection of British psychedelia and freakbeat, and the band has garnered a modest cult reputation.
Jason's Crest's fourth single, Waterloo Road, released in 1968, reached number one in France when French singer Joe Dassin covered it under the title Les Champs Élysées.
