First Time on Vinyl in the US Since 1978!
Limited Edition Deep Purple Vinyl!
Expanded Edition with Live Bonus Track!
1977 was a great year for rock music and for the Ian Gillan Band, as their landmark album Scarabus became one of the greater releases from the classic rock and progressive rock era.
For their third album, Ian Gillan and his mates Ray Fenwick, Colin Towns, John Gustafson and Mark Nauseef ventured into new territory with a spirited set of 10 new originals that would soon become rock radio and rock fan favorites.
Tracks like "Mercury High," "Apathy," "Fool's Mate" and the classic title track "Scarabus" would become staples for the band, as their creative forces hit a new level with this fine release.
This amazing album has been out of print on vinyl for many years, that is until now……
Celebrating five decades of the Ian Gillan Band, Friday Music is very pleased to announce Scarabus - The Expanded Edition, which now features a superlative live track "My Baby Loves Me."
Friday Music is also pressing this for a very limited time on Deep Purple vinyl, and to further enhance your Ian Gillan Band experience, they are also featuring it in a first-time-ever gatefold cover.
Rock On!!!
