COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUPERIOR COVER DESIGN
GUN
Poland - MUZA - XL 0773
BEAUTIFUL, RARE COLLECTIBLE
WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUPERIOR COVER DESIGN !!
SUPER SCARCE original pressing from 45+ years ago, as issued on the MUZA label, featuring a completely different cover (way way better) than the one issued in England and USA) ... the first GUN album known for the killer psych jammer "RACE WITH THE DEVIL" and infectiously gripping psychrock driver of greatness...but there's much more...The long and winding tale of the two brothers involved in the making of this record (Paul and Adrian Gurvitz) begins here with this fuzzy and weighty record. While there is plenty about this record to like, there are a couple of caveats. The band were coming off the tail end of the British Invasion, a time when record producers had more say than bands on how their finished products sounded. Thus there’s some meddling with production arrangements that are wholly inappropriate for a band with power trio aspirations. Opener “Race With The Devil” is one of the mentioned highlights above, a riffy and quick number that contains such full arragements accentuated with interludes not unlike Uriah Heep’s “Salisbury " with scorching guitar and a very catchy tune that was a sizable British hit in '68. “Yellow Cab Man” sets the tone of what was to come from the Gurvitz brothers, being a fuzzy and driving number with some very cool guitar handling from Adrian (Gurvitz). “It Won’t Be Long (Heartbeat)” works in much the same way only more trippy, while those in love with long psych freak outs will favor the 11 booming and swirling minutes of “Take Off.” It’s interesting to dig the Eastern flavor of this track, the boys perhaps having bent an ear to what Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page had been bringing to the Yardbirds guitar-wise. And while this record is not as brute volume wise as we’d like it to be, that’s more a problem of limited technology and production control of the late 60's. Louder with thick bass and drums could make this a far more revelatory heavy experience. Anyways their second 1969’s Gunsight was more mature in many ways and less beholden to outside meddling. It’s also fuzz guitar crazed, darker and varied. All said, GUN were good stuff, and this first one will perhaps find the most favor with reverential Heavyrock heads in search of the music’s embryonic zones.
