Die CD "Three Man Army/Three Man Army Two" vereint die beiden klassischen Alben der britischen Rockband Three Man Army aus den frühen 1970er Jahren. Diese Neuauflage von BGO Records ermöglicht es Hörern, den kraftvollen Mix aus Hardrock und Blues-Einflüssen der Band zu erleben ? geprägt durch dynamische Gitarrenarbeit und eingängiges Songwriting. Gegründet wurde Three Man Army von den Brüdern Adrian und Paul Gurvitz nach ihrer Zeit bei The Gun; später stieß Schlagzeuger Tony Newman (ehemals Jeff Beck Group) dazu. Die Musik besticht durch energiegeladene Performances und Songs wie ?Polecat Woman? oder ?A Third of a Lifetime?. Auch wenn der große kommerzielle Durchbruch ausblieb, erntete die Band viel Kritikerlob für ihr musikalisches Können und genießt heute Kultstatus unter Classic-Rock-Fans. Das Label BGO Records ist bekannt für hochwertige Wiederveröffentlichungen klassischer Alben verschiedenster Genres und macht so bedeutende Werke neuen Generationen zugänglich.
THREE MAN ARMY were an English band of brothers led by Sergeants Paul & Adrian Gurvitz, with various fired-up percussionists bringing up the rear, including Tony Newman (from the Jeff Beck Group), Carmine Appice (of Vanilla Fudge), Tom Kellie (of Spooky Tooth) and Buddy Miles (of Electric Flag). The Gurvitz brothers were previously known as the Gun, who are perhaps best-known for their 1968 hit song, "Race with the Devil". The brothers continued with the militaristic theme by going on to form the Baker-Gurvitz Army in the mid-1970's with Ginger Baker from Cream. Three Man Army delivered three artillery barrages (or albums) in a row during the early 1970's:- "A Third of a Lifetime" (1971); "Mahesha" (1973); & "Three Man Army Two" (1974). There was also one further album, the imaginatively-titled "Three Man Army 3" (2005), consisting of reworked demo recordings from the early 1970's sessions. Three Man Army are armed and ready to go, so it's time now to get locked and loaded for their first storming salvo of hard and heavy Rock.
