August 1978 to May 1979
Gillan   
People involved
Pete Barnacle (drm); Steve Byrd (gtr); Ian Gillan (vcl); John McCoy (bss); Colin Towns (kbr).
Genocky - after having done some recordings - left the newly-formed band, and so Barnacle stepped in. (Apparently Genocky is credited for drums on the original LP sleeve, but not on the remastered CD-reissue.)
