GILLAN were at their peak during the late 70"s and early 80"s from where all of the recordingd are drawn from. Put together by JOHN McCOY from his vast tape archive in his role as writer, producer, bass guitarist and Gillan Confidante these great songs are unreleased mixes of songs that would eventually find themselves on number 1 HIT albums such as "Glory road" & "Magic". All 20 tracks have never before been released in their current format and they display the rock solid bass and drums of McCoy and Mick Underwood, the tasteful keyboards of Colin Towns, the distinctive guitars of Bernie Torme and Jannick Gers topped off with THE voice of British Rock at his best-IAN GILLAN. Gillan unlike many of their contemporary were not afraid to take chances. Often with collective tongues in cheeks, they were masters of turbo charged rock riffs featuring Ian at his screaming best only to stop your heart with spine chilling ballads. Here it is at last! The long and much awaited Gillan Tapes Vol.2.
