Even though progressive rock may have been born in Europe, several American groups rose to carry the torch of this musical style in the early 1970's. One of the most popular of these bands was Gypsy, which originally hailed from Minneapolis, but relocated to Los Angeles to realize their creative potential. Core members James Walsh (keyboards), Jim Johnson (guitar) and Enrico Rosenbaum (guitar) wrote and performed some of the most original prog rock ever recorded. The complex musical arrangements, the beautifully executed vocals and the spiritual lyrics made them overwhelming favorites for live concerts. They landed such exceptional gigs as house band at The Whiskey-A- Go-Go; tours with The Guess Who, Black Sabbath, Spirit, The Kinks, King Crimson, Steppenwolf and more; appearances at major concert venues such as The Atlanta Pop Festival (with Mountain, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers) and as headliners at The Fillmore East and West and Winterland.

Bottom Line: SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

Grading Scale

Near Mint (appears like-new but with a slight blemish or two; may or may not have been played)

VG + + (a few blemishes and / or a very light micro scratch or two that will not be visible under normal lighting; a well-cared for record that has been played a few times; excellent vinyl gloss)

VG + (increased number of blemishes / scuffs / very light micro scratches or a combination thereof; very good vinyl gloss)

VG (showing wear with numerous visible blemishes and scratches that will affect sound quality; some vinyl gloss; well-played)

Good (showing extreme groove wear; scratches that will cause noise; near absence of vinyl gloss; fills the collection until something better comes along)
