Description
In 1968, brothers Paul and Adrian Gurvitz and Louie Farrell started the band The Gun, a British band who are seen as one of the biggest influences on many hard rock and metal giants from the seventies and eighties. The band emerged from the 1965 rock band The Knack. Under this name they already supported bands such as Pink Floyd, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Tomorrow. After the name change in 1967, the band immediately signed with CBS and scored a top 10 hit in the UK Single Chart with "Race with the Devil".
Despite disbanding in 1970, their influence was huge. For example, Jimi Hendrix quoted the hit songs riff at the iconic Isle of Wight Festival concert. But also, Judas Priest, Status Quo, and Girlschool covered the band. It is safe to say The Gun was a huge influence on the British hard rock scene and their debut album is still regarded as a must have among rock collectors.
Gun is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on smokey coloured vinyl.
