Re: The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Never could get into Alex much even though I am the hugest Zal Cleminson because of the band Tear Gas's 1st album. Now that was some killer stuff.

Two more classics by THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND !! :cheers2
Even I have a couple of their albums. I love Zal Cleminsons guitarwork on "Vambo"....he later had a spell with Nazereth which IMO was a big dissapointment

I was at a record show in the early 90's when I came accross a Sensational Alex Harvey Band picture disc. It caught my eye for no other reason than it was a picture disk and i thought the picture was cool and the Guitarist had mime makeup on.

I said "this looks really cool I'll take it."

my friend walks up behind me and asks what I found.. I showed him the disk and he grins and says "I think you gonna like that"

needless to say I loved it and have listened to him ever since.

and I still have that disk and dont plan to ever give it up.

Great tune, but creepy.
My older brother had that on vinyl lp the first time I heard it,I wasnt impressed but as I got/get older I can appericate the tune&more from SAHB,Not so much the theatrical cuts like cheek to cheek/gamblin bar room blues:confused:its just not me.
