Product Description
Contents: A wandering path, or a new frontier? This Blu-Spec CD re-examines two masterpieces (2nd and 3rd) from Ian Gillan's "fusion hard rock period," released in 1977 under the name of his own group, the Ian Gillan Band, after his departure from Deep Purple. The third album was released just six months after the previous one. While the band's appeal lies in the technical skill of each member and Gillan's restrained vocals, compared to the previous album which had a strong impression of being epic in nature, this album has a more straightforward and compact sound overall, resulting in a finish that could be seen as a "return to hard rock." Features high-quality Blu-spec CD. Paper jacket packaging based on the UK LP. Includes one bonus track. Japanese liner notes included. DSD mastering. 2019 24-bit remaster.
