Artist: IAN GILLAN BAND
Album: SCARABUS + CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE REMASTERED (2CD)

Year: 1977/ 2007
Media type: CD

Following on from Edsel’s successful Gillan re-issues and the live “Triple Trouble” in autumn 2009, we are pleased to announce the re-issue of the Ian Gillan Band’s two studio albums, together in one slip-cased package for the first time.

Recorded at Ian’s Kingsway Studios, the albums were issued in April and October 1977. The guitarist was session man Ray Fenwick, who went on to play with Cozy Powell and Graham Bonnet, while the bassist was Johnny Gustafson, who was in Liverpool’s celebrated Big Three and went to play in Roxy Music. Keyboard player Colin Towns went on with Ian to form Gillan.

The booklet contains the lyrics and brand new sleevenotes, which have been written by Gillan’s most trusted archivist David Tedds.
