Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a 3CD clamshell boxed set featuring all of the albums by BAKER GURVITZ ARMY, ôSince Beginning û The Albums 1974 - 1976ö. The Baker Gurvitz Army was formed in 1974 by former Gun and Three Man Army members Adrian Gurvitz (guitar, vocals), Paul Gurvitz (bass, vocals) and virtuoso drummer Ginger Baker, formerly with Cream, Blind Faith and Airforce.The band was a highly regarded live act and recorded three albums of some of the finest British rock music of the mid-1970s. ôBaker Gurvitz Armyö was released in 1974 on the Vertigo label and featured such classic material as æHelp MeÆ, æMad JackÆ, æInside of MeÆ and æMemory LaneÆ, and it immediately earned the band a loyal and ever increasing fan base.The 1975 album ôElysian Encounterö saw the band expanded with the addition of vocalist Mr. Snips (Steve Parsons) and keyboard player Peter Lemer. Arguably the bandÆs finest work, the album was released on the Mountain label and featured the tracks æPeopleÆ, æTimeÆ, æThe ArtistÆ and æThe KeyÆ. By the time ôHearts on Fireö was recorded in 1976, John Norman Mitchell had replaced Peter Lemer on keyboards and vibes. Another fine work, the album featured æFlying In And Out of StardomÆ, æThirsty for the BluesÆ and æNight PeopleÆ. Each CD in this re-mastered set features live bonus tracks; æMemory LaneÆ, æPeopleÆ, æFreedomÆ (written by Jimi Hendrix) and æWotever it IsÆ, and each album is housed in a replica album sleeve wallet. The set also includes a poster.
