Rock music and eccentricity often go hand in hand. Mostly, offbeat behaviour is carefully affected PR to help sell records but just sometimes there are the rare few who end up pursuing a music career to further their own quirky ideas. Kimberley Frost was one of the latter... 
...Nearing 40 in 1968, while driving somewhere between his central heating business in Glasgow and his home in Sheffield he came to believe he was possessed by the Egyptian God, Ramases and that his life goal was to now spread this message through music...
..In order to help him in this goal he and his wife (now named Selket) persuaded 10cc to act as backing band on their seriously trippy late-period psych album, under the name Ramases (obviously); with Roger Dean painting a Stockport church turning into a spaceship for the cover
It's actually a thoroughly decent album- the best thing 10cc ever did. Unfortunately Kimberely's life did not turn out well thereafter but he remains one of Britain's true musical eccentrics and deserves to be better known beyond his odd little story.
