Description
Tear Gas
These Glasgow-based progressive/heavy rockers were originally known as Mustard. Their first vocalist Andy Mulvey had previously been with The Poets. However, he was soon replaced by David Batchelor and around the same time Gilson Lavis (their original drummer, who later played with Squeeze) was replaced by Richard Monro from Ritchie Blackmore's Mandrake Root. This line-up recorded Piggy Go Getter, which made little impact. In 1970, Hugh McKenna took over Batchelor's vocal role and Ted McKenna (ex-Dream Police) relieved Monro on drums. They recorded a second album and tried to establish themselves on the underground scene but were going nowhere with their brand of tired boogie heavy rock, until they teamed up with Alex Harvey in August 1972 to become The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Tear Gas (Regal Zonophone SLRZ 1021) 1971
Eddie McKenna - Drums
Dave Batchelor - Vocals, Guitar
Zal Cleminson - Lead Guitar
Chris Glen - Bass
I have personally seen this LP sell on eBay previously for over £80+ so do not miss out on this great bargain
The quality of the Vinyl is very good and playable, which means that it has been personally rated as B+. The stock photo included is only for illlustrative purposes, however there is a small marking of where the price stcker has been removed when originally purchased back in '71. The sleeve is otherwise in tact and is very good for its age.
Happy Bidding...
