DYNAMIC HARD UK GUITAR POWEROCK
THREE MAN ARMY
( Mahesha )
\ USA - Reprise Records - MS 2150
SCARCE, clean (M- VINYL) and sought after... original 1971 first pressing collectible ...the great 2nd album by the mighty tuneful guitar heavy THREE MAN ARMY...really hard to find without self wear to the thick gatefold cover -- see details below, this copy is 'nice' ...
The second Three Man Army, considered their hardest and probable best of three albums, it is called "Mahesha" in the U.K. and represents a driving hard guitar rocker by the former GUN members the Gurvitz brothers ... killer status original tunes with lots of biting guitar leads, tight, electrified, with that cool sound collectors look for in early 70's hard rock rarities...
On their second outing, this British band sounded rougher and bluesier than on their debut, which sparked frequent comparisons to Cream. Center-stage was Adrian Gurvitz, a true guitar wizard, whose intricate, hard-driving solos had gained notoriety since his days with Gun, aided and abetted by the heavy, precise rhythm section. Yet proper commercial success continued to elude them. The band was often praised for their tight and professional live performances, yet, at the end of the day, none of their records had made it into the charts. The last crack at big time was attempted in 1974, with the release of "Mahesha" - alas, it was sadly igonred by the public. THREE MAN ARMY consists of Adrian Curtis(Gurvitz) on guitar, vocals, keyboards, his brother Paul Gurvitz on Bass/vocals and Tony Newman(ex-May Blitz) on drums.
The level of musicianship is top notch and worth having in your collection.
Standout tracks are 'My Yiddishe Mama', 'Mahesha', 'Can't Leave the Summer(Part 1 and 2)', and 'Take me down from the Mountain'. There are no bad tracks on this album.
