Description:
Digitally remastered edition of the classic 1971 album A Third Of A Lifetime. Three Man Army was formed in 1971 by brothers Adrian and Paul Gurvitz, (assuming the pseudonym Curtis), who had previously been key members in the band Gun (famed for the 1968 hit 'Race With the Devil'). Signing to producer Lou Reizner's production company, Three Man Army recorded their debut album for the newly established progressive imprint Pegasus. A Third Of A Lifetime is a classic progressive rock album of the era that is now ripe for rediscovery, with tracks such as 'Together' featuring fine guitar work from Adrian Gurvitz, underpinned by a solid rhythm section and Mellotron keyboard. From start to finish A Third of a Lifetime is an impressive listen. This new, official release has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes, features two bonus tracks originally released as a single in 1971 and includes a booklet with liner notes and fully restores the album artwork.
A Third of a Lifetime: Remastered Edition is the definitive reissue of Three Man Army?s iconic debut album, now available on CD from Cherry Red Records. Originally released in 1971, this hard rock classic showcases the formidable talents of brothers Adrian and Paul Gurvitz alongside drummer Mike Kellie. The remastered edition brings new clarity to standout tracks like ?Butter Queen? and ?Daze,? highlighting the band?s blend of powerful riffs, melodic hooks, and progressive influences. Three Man Army quickly earned acclaim for their dynamic sound and musicianship, with members later contributing to legendary acts such as Baker Gurvitz Army and Spooky Tooth. This release not only preserves an essential piece of British rock history but also introduces it to a new generation of listeners. Cherry Red Records is renowned for its dedication to quality reissues across genres, consistently delivering expertly curated collections that celebrate music heritage.
Following hot on the heels of the demise of their former band Gun, THREE MAN ARMY was formed in 1970 by brothers Adrian Gurvitz and Paul Gurvitz. Their initial effort A Third of a Lifetime appeared on Pegasus Records the following year, featuring contributions by drummers Buddy Miles, Mike Kellie and Carmine Appice.
Tony Newman would eventually join as the permanent sticksman for the rest of the lifespan of this Britsh power trio. Mahesha would be the first production Newman appeared on, initially released in 1972, then reissued with alternate cover art in 1973 as Three Man Army. 1974 saw the trio's last attempt at achieveing fame and fortune with Three Man Army Two. But like the other productions of this band commercial success eluded them also on this occasion and the band folded around 1975.
Just over 30 years later an epilogue of sorts would appear in the shape of the album Three Man Army Three, issued by German label Revisted Records. Featuring just over 30 minutes of demo recordings planned for a rock opera (Three Days to Go), compiled and reworked by Paul Gurvitz.
