==Australian period==

The original Python Lee Jackson was formed in December 1965, in [[Sydney]] by two British men – singer Frank Kennington and guitarist Mick Liber (born in [[Peebles, Scotland]] on 1 March 1944) – after meeting drummer David Montgomery (born September 1945 in Melbourne). Together with bass player Roy James they played the underground circuit. In early 1966 Kennington was 'busted' - was what? 'busted'? Is that American slang for something? British slang? Perhaps it could be replaced with standard language more suited to an encyclopedia? - and deported back to the UK, and former Missing Links singer Bob Brady filled in for several months before Liber and Montgomery struck on the idea of putting a new version together.

A new Python Lee Jackson line-up came together around March 1966 when Brisbane-born keyboard player and singer David Bentley left [[Sydney]] group [[Jeff St John & The Id]] to join Liber and Montgomery alongside former Unit 4 bass player Lloyd Hardy (aka Cadillac Lloyd Hudson).
