VERY RARE
1978
GILLAN
JAPANESE IMPORT
WITH
OBI
AND
JAPANESE SONG SHEET
GRADING FOR BOTH SLEEVE AND ALBUM - EXCELLENT
I bought this album way back in 1978 and I cherished it, there is not a single scratch on the vinyl, which has been kept in a anti static sleeve and not been played for years. It is an awesome album, which to this day I cannot believe has never been released World Wide. The cover is in excellent condition being kept in a vinyl sleeve and it still has the Obi and Japanese song sheet making it a very rare and collectable piece of Gillan merchandise.
The GILLAN Japanese album captured the band at the very moment of their inception, and remains one of their best recordings. Released only in Japan, it nevertheless set the stage for Gillan's worldwide success during the early eighties.
Inspired by FIGHTING MAN, a demo song written by keyboard player Colin Towns, Ian decided a fresh start was needed. He and Colin set about getting a new band together. Drummer Liam Genocky joined and suggested John McCoy for bass. On lead guitar they brought in Richard Brampton - soon replaced by Steve Byrd.
Confusingly titled just GILLAN it was an impressive piece of work. Ian Gillan had really turned the corner. Overjoyed to be back in the midst of it all, he'd ended up with a powerful band, while the material was fierce, heavy, and well performed. It remains one of the best albums he's ever worked on.
