The two sides of the album-one by Kember ( A-side ), the other by Pierce ( B-side )-reflected the split between the band's two main personnel.

Beginning with the band's formation in 1983, it made frequent personnel changes but always maintained the presence of principal songwriter Robert Pollard.

The band's 1950s personnel included:

The original line-up of Ministry consisted mainly of Jourgensen ( vocals and guitar ), Stephen George ( drums ), Robert Roberts ( keyboards ), and John Davis ( keyboards ), although with a few personnel changes, the band's image would begin to focus more on Jourgensen and Stephen George.

The gatefold album cover, in a woodcut style designed by artist James Grashow, originally opened up like a children's pop-up book, so that a cut-out of the band's personnel stood up — evoking the album's title.

The band's personnel has changed over the years.

The Infectious Grooves have been on hiatus between the release of their fourth album, 2000's Mas Borracho and 2007, having not written new material, toured or recorded, but the band's personnel have kept busy with other projects.

The Seventh One became the band's most successful release since Toto IV and, according to David Paich, the record was supposed to be their comeback record, but personnel changes at the record company resulted in the album's promotion and advertising money being pulled.

Even with the personnel changes, the band managed to add a new core member in multi-instrumentalist Mike Daly, who contributed significantly to the band's sound on their third album, Pneumonia.

The same year, the band's personnel was augmented with guitarist Chuck Coles ( previously of Murder Culture ).

The Rough Trade demo was recorded, but by then label interest in the band had grown rapidly, with up to thirty A & R men and record personnel attending the band's next musical showcase gig.

Another enduring problem in the band was its frequent turnover of personnel — many prominent players passed through the ranks in the band's ten-year life to 1966, but none of its lineups lasted more than a year.

On 6 March 1971, the New Musical Express reported the band's personnel change: “ Thunderclap Newman has finally settled down into a five-piece group, with two new members being brought in — although on certain dates, the outfit may be augmented by a brass section.

Following the band's second album, the wildly successful Double Vision, shifts in personnel began to take place.

This seemingly constant turnover of personnel is one of several reasons for the band's lack of consistent " saleability ", and is referred to by the local music scene as " the curse of the Chills ".

There were more personnel changes as Canaday left to move to Nashville in 1988 ( Sadly, he was killed on September 25, 1999, when the small plane he was traveling in crashed in Nashville, Tenn., while he was working as an aerial photographer ) and was briefly succeeded on drums by the band's roadie, Rick ' Lumpy ' Davidson, who previously had sometimes joined the group onstage playing washboard.

There were a number of personnel changes throughout the band's history, but the best known line up was:

Third marks the most major of Soft Machine's several shifts in musical genre over their career, completing their transition from psychedelic music to jazz, and is a significant milestone of the Canterbury scene, featuring interplay between the band's personnel: Mike Ratledge on keyboards, Robert Wyatt on drums, Hugh Hopper on bass and newest member Elton Dean on saxophone.

Street Fighting Years was recorded during yet another period of personnel change for Simple Minds, and was notably the last of the band's albums to feature keyboard player / composer / founder member Mick MacNeil.

Amidst so many changes in band personnel, McGuinn decided that he alone would sing lead vocals on the band's new album, in order to give it a sense of sonic unity.

Bill Haley's band would undergo many changes of personnel over the next two decades, but the one constant was Rudy Pompilli, who would become the band's road manager, taking care of paying the bills and arranging for the hiring of new musicians when required.

Although Hole's sound changed over the course of the band's career, the pretty / ugly dynamic has often been noted as a consistent theme in Love's music, most prominently in Hole's first two studio albums.

At Capitol's behest, the band's name was changed to Crowded House, which alluded to the lack of space at the West Hollywood apartment they shared during the recording of the album Crowded House.

In 1989 the band's name was changed to Deicide at the request of Roadrunner Records.

The band's image also changed as members began to wear elaborate, flamboyant clothing.

When his manager informed him that a band by the name of " Bastard " would never get a slot on " Top of the Pops ", Lemmy changed the band's name to " Motörhead " – the title of the last song he had written for Hawkwind.

The album was originally titled The Dirt, as it was loosely based on the band's autobiography of the same name, but the title was later changed.

Although Rabin and Squire initially shared lead vocals, Trevor Horn was brought into the project as a potential singer, but subsequently changed roles in order to become the band's producer.

Grant had previously turned down offers by Massot to make a film of the band, but with the huge success of the band's current tour, Grant changed his mind and offered him the job of director.

In late 1917 the spelling of the band's name was changed to Original Dixieland Jazz Band.

The band's work pattern changed dramatically with this project, and by most accounts the extraordinary synergy of The Beatles ' previous studio sessions was harder to come by during this period.

Long after the recording of The Beatles was complete, Martin mentioned in interviews that his working relationship with The Beatles changed during this period, and that many of the band's efforts seemed unfocused, often yielding prolonged jam sessions that sounded uninspired.

His style has changed with the band's evolution ; much of the lyrics on Core were written about societal issues such as religion, abuse of power, and isolation.

Without the band's knowledge or permission, Candix Records had changed their name to The Beach Boys.

The band's lineup has changed significantly since its heyday.

In 1970, they changed the band's name again to Kansas and merged with members of rival Topeka progressive rock outfit White Clover.

However, in 1983, the band's fortunes changed.

The other members changed their mind and they all began recording the band's next album, ' Bossanova ( 1990 ).

The band's lineup changed during the recording of I Don't Want to Grow Up.

Based on this, he changed the band's name, to " Earth, Wind & Fire ".

The band's lineup has changed several times over its lifespan, with lead vocalist Greg Graffin being the only continuous member.

Before the Meddle album released, the lyrics were changed to an aquatic theme, because of the band's concern that they were being labelled as a space rock band.

The band's lineup changed twice after Maurer left the band, just a month before the release of Sex, Love and Rock ' n ' Roll.

The band's fortunes changed immensely from this moment on, and Lennox quickly became a pop icon, gracing the covers of numerous magazines including Rolling Stone.

The band's fortunes changed when Chip Douglas returned to work with them in the studio.

Later additions Murphy Karges and Mark McGrath changed the band's name to Shrinky Dinx ( though some sources cite the spelling as Shrinky Dinks ).
