Gasoline Band Gasoline Band: Remastered Edition CD

Digitally remastered edition of the super rare and now classic self-titled Progressive/Jazz Rock album by the Gasoline Band. The group came together in Berlin in 1969 when two Americans, keyboard player Fred Schwartz and trumpeter (and US Army bandsman) Larry 'Fish' Brown came together to form a group that would fuse the influences of rock and jazz. By 1970 Schwartz had assembled an ensemble of ten musicians, all hailing from a US military service background. Stylistic differences caused the band to come apart, but the Gasoline Band was the result. After playing concerts in Germany, Schwarz was offered a contract by Cube Records and in 1971 the various members of the band left the US Army and came to London to record their only self-titled album. A fine fusion of rock and jazz, the Gasoline Band was championed by Old Grey Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris but sadly failed to make any commercial impact. This reissue includes a booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and a new essay.
