*Best* copy seen in many years !!!
STILL SEALED ((never opened)) ....Original 1973 first pressing of the third and sadly LAST album by THREE MAN ARMY ... the British ex-GUN hard guitar trio had a terrific knack for writing cool songs injected with blazing guitar but not to the point of self indulgent leads, rather tight and controled barrages that accent the tunes really nice perfectly arranged power-trio album. The right kind of tracks and passages on the right places gives it the strange epic touch that makes a power-trio album great as if its something bigger, while still keeps it on the ground at the same time.
Once brothers Adrian (guitar, voc) and Paul Gurvitz (bass) had disbanded their trio, Gun, they rushed immediately, with former Spooky Tooth drummer Mike Kellie by their side, into a new heavy rock adventure - a project, which proved to be well ahead of its time. Three Man Army made their debut in 1971 on "A Third Of A Lifetime" with Buddy Miles (drums, organ, bass) as a famous guest star. The "in every way easily written material made people sit up and take notice, above all, because of the excellent rhythm craft" (Sounds) and shaped the most dramatic hard rock sound of highest caliber. Three Man Army were elevated up to the level of cult stars on the British underground circuit. The well-in-demand session drummer, Tony Newman, was recruited for the recording of "Three Man Army II" in 1973. Previously, Newman garnered experience and reputation on the rock scene with Jeff Beck, as well as having been a member of May Blitz.
On their third outing, this British band sounded rougher and bluesier than on their debut, which sparked frequent comparisons to Cream. Centre-stage was Adrian Gurvitz, a true guitar wizard, whose intricate, hard-driving solos had gained notoriety since his days with Gun, aided and abetted by the heavy, precise rhythm section. Yet proper commercial success continued to elude them. The band was often praised for their tight and professional live performances, yet, at the end of the day, none of their records had made it into the charts. Some 35+ years later collectors got the idea...a truly great hard rock crew with a slew of killer tracks.
