Hey, nobody told me.



Kind of reminds me of UFO. Oddly I only found them because of the singer...he was in some band Sharks with Andy Fraser from Free that I was looking up. I was familiar with some of Ginger Baker's Air Force stuff, but I haven't listened to any of that in ten years probably. Might be time to go back to the tapes...he had some shit going on in the early to mid 70s that rates pretty high.

Some decent tunes but overall they weren't that good

I've gotten to this band via the Gurvitz bros actually. They both prior been in a great band called Three Man Army, and before that Gun (Race with the Devil).

Agreed. Three Man Army is the best of the stuff with the Gurvitz brothers. Some of the Baker-Gurvitz Army is just boring as hell.

The Fela live tape with Ginger Baker is the best thing I've ever heard Ginger play on.

I knew Gun but not Three Man Army. That Graham Bond video takes the cake though. Case closed!
