Artist: IAN GILLAN BAND
Album: SCARABUS REMASTERED (DIGI)

Year: 1977/ 2009
Media type: CD

Ian Gillan, an English rock music vocalist and songwriter, best known as the lead singer and lyricist for Deep Purple. “Scarabus” is the third album by Ian Gillan Band, released in 1977. It successfully mixes the jazzy stuff from the “Clear Air Turbulence” period with the intensity of the later/Gillan period, for a perfect balance. “Scarabus” represents Ian's attempt to both give the public what they wanted (screaming and long solos) while remaining true to his original vision of Ian Gillan Band. What resulted was one of the best records of its era, packed with well-written songs and deft fusion arrangements spiced up with some heavy tunes. The new digipak edition is limited to 1000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process, released on a golden disc.
