Sam Gopal - Escalator 1968

Yep, that handsome brute on the far left

is Lemmy. Pre "Rocking Vicars" and

Hawkwind, Sam Gopal - song writer

and bongo player, gathered a band to

play his music.

Mr Lemmy was drafted in to sing and play

lead guitar. This album is a fine example of

psych rock and hippy lyrics that hold together

really well + Lemmy is playing some shit hot

leads. It's just a shame that there was no

drummer pounding away behind the songs.

There is also a song "The Dark Lord" that

would later turn up in Hawkwind and

Motorhead as "The Watcher".
