TEAR GAS
They were basically Mustard, although they had some changes:
This is Tear Gas in 1970, after their first change in the band:
Sometime later, David Batchelor left the band (although he'll keep in touch with them, as we'll see).
David Batchelor was replaced in Tear Gas by Ted´s cousin, Hugh:
After their second album, Tear Gas, they perform a vital step, teaming in August 1972 with the great singer Alex Harvey, resulting in the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND
Well, they really deserved that name:
They remained as a very stable lineup, from August 1972 to August 1977. They released eight albums with the same musicians.
Framed, their first album, contained the collaboration of Phil Kenzie on sax (later with Rod Stewart). With a cover of Willie Dixon's blues ´I just want to make love to you´.
For if someone wants to know, my Spanish LP copy of their album Next was butchered without including the title track, the Jacques Brel song ´Next´, due to censorship.
The impossible dream has excellent songs, as well as a rendition of ´The impossible dream´, from the musical score Man of La Mancha. My favourite songs are the terrific ´Vambo´, ´Tomahawk kid´ and the beautiful oldie-flavoured ´Sergeant Fury´.
Tomorrow belongs to me was produced by old bandmate David Batchelor.
Live contained a weird rendition of Tom Jones´ ´Delilah´.
Their next album, The penthouse tapes, also contained several covers: ´Goodnight Irene´ (by Huddie Leadbetter), ´Cheek to cheek´ (by Irving Berlin), ´Runaway´ (by Del Shannon), ´School's out´ (by Alice Cooper), and a live track. B.J. Cole appears in one track playing pedal steel guitar.
Along the years, several live albums have been released:
BBC Radio One in concert contains tracks from two different performances. One is from Paris Theatre in London, in 1972. And some other tracks are taken from 1973. Surprisingly, these 1973 tracks don't include Hugh McKenna on keyboards, but John Martin. Why? Can someone give me some info about it, please? The album is fantastic, with superb renditions of ´The faith healer´ and ´Midnight Moses´.
Live on the Test contains live archives from the ´Old Grey Whistle Test´ TV programme, hosted by ´Whispering´ Bob Harris, through the years, from 1973 through 1977.

THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND (WITHOUT ALEX)
You can guess by their name:
In 1976, Alex Harvey was hospitalized due to some health problems, and the band continued without him. They released an album, Fourplay but Alex was brought back again a year later.

Together again!!
Finally, in August 1977, Hugh McKenna leaves the band.
Hugh McKenna was replaced by the great Tommy Eyre:
After a new album, Rock drill, in October 1977, Alex leaves again. But the main core of the band stayed together, while Alex formed a new band, taking Tommy Eyre with him.

ZAL BAND
It was November 1977, and Zal was the new leader, because he was the most famous face in the band (probably, due to makeup):
After a British tour, they abandon the idea in April 1978.

AND THEN...
I don't know more info about what Chris did between April 1978 and August 1980. Any clue?
MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP
WOW! I still remember when I read about this new band. A superb lineup!
Michael Schenker gained his reputation as the guitarist in UFO, although he was before in another great band, Scorpions. When he left UFO, tried to form his own band (more details in my page about Denny Carmassi), but his first solo album was recorded with session musicians. After that album, he forms his live band in August 1980:
They recorded a studio album, called MSG, on Spring 1981, and later they released a fantastic live album One night at Budokan (originally a 2LP, now a 1CD but the Chrysalis CD edition misses one lenghty track, ´But I want more´, and all the fantastic inner photos, so beware!), recorded on August 12, 1981. They were dynamite live. But Michael Schenker never retained his musicians for a long time, and in November 1981, Raymond and Barden are fired.
MSG remain as a quartet in February 82, where an old Cozy bandmate appears here, Graham Bonnet:
But Cozy starts having problem with Michael Schenker, and finally leaves, in April 1982.
In April 1982, former Chris Glen´s mate, Ted McKenna arrives to replace Cozy Powell. The SAHB rhythm section together again!:
They record a new album, Assault attack, with former colleague Tommy Eyre guesting on keyboards, but even before it was released, Bonnet is fired from the band in August 1982.
Gary Barden comes back to his former role in Michael Schenker Group in August 1982:
Just some days after Barden is back, they played in Reading Festival, with a superb performance. A song from this set can be found in the collective 2LP, Reading rock (the track is ´Attack of the mad axeman´). They had a hidden keyboardist, but I don't know who he was (maybe Tommy Eyre or Andy Nye?).
Soon after, same year 1982, Andy Nye is an official member of the band:
During the 1982 tour, it was recorded a BBC concert, that later was released in 1993 as BBC Radio One live in concert.
The band, as a quintet, tried to release Built to destroy, but the album was remastered in New York, with another guitarist added in some tracks, the great Derek St. Holmes. So, as far as I know, there must be two different editions: the European one, as a quintet, and the American one, with St. Holmes added in some tracks:
Built to destroy was finally released. This lineup toured in Spain.
They released another live album, Rock will never die, with guest appearances by Scorpions guys Klaus Meine and Rudolph Schenker. And after only two months in the band, Derek St. Holmes is fired from the band, and his photo isn´t present in the live album. But this was the beginning of several changes, and soon after, the whole lineup is out of the band. Michael starts from the beginning.
Next reforcement for the band is great guitarist John Verity (from Argent), replacing Derek St Holmes during a tour:
In January 1984, powerful singer Terry Wilson-Slesser is hired singing backing vocals for MSG only for that month:
And, in February 1984, Chris Glen leaves.

OPERATOR
In 1984, rock magazines announced that Chris was putting together a band with Brian Robertson and Phil Taylor, both ex-Motorhead, and that they were searching for a lead singer.
The following news were that Brian Robertson was fired from the band, and the new members were Robin McAuley (vocals, ex-Grand Prix) and Mick O'Donoghue (guitar, also ex-Grand Prix):
They released their first single, ´One to one´ in 1985, for the Belgian label Mausoleum. I think they finally released a CD, but I'm not sure. Does anybody know?
This is another limeup for Operator/GMT, now augmented by fine keyboardist Phil Lanzon:
But they split in May 1985, with everyone except McAuley and Lanzon starting a new band, GMT.

IAN GILLAN BAND
This was the brand new band assembled by Ian Gillan to promote his solo album Naked thunder (released on July 1990).

THE PARTY BOYS
The Party Boys started off when Ted McKenna approached Zal Cleminson and keyboardist Ronnie Leahy, and originally the bass and vocals were guests. At their peek, the bassist had stabilized with Chris Glen, and Nazareth's Dan McCafferty was appearing regularly. Fish (ex-Marillion) also guested a few times. Ronnie left when the whole idea of SAHB came in. Around this transformation time, old bandate Billy Rankin also sang for them:

Pete Phips (drums) - I wanna spend my life with you / Jump out the window (SINGLE) - Billy Rankin (1979)
- Members: Billy Rankin
- Guests: Chris Glen + Pete Phipps (RIP: Tommy Eyre)
- Comments: Guitarist, he was a member of Nazareth and Zal Band. He released these two singles in 1979, with this lineup:
Billy Rankin (vocals, guitar)
Chris Glen (bass)
Tommy Eyre (keyboards)
Pete Phips (drums) - Tilt - Cozy Powell (1981)
- Members: Frank Aiello, Don Airey, Bernie Marsden, Neil Murray (RIP: Cozy Powell + Jack Bruce, Gary Moore)
- Guests: Jeff Beck, Chris Glen + Mel Collins, John Cook, Elmer Gantry, Kirby Gregory, David Sancious
- Comments: Tilt was recorded during Spring 1981, with lots of former bandmates. The complete personnel list is: Cozy Powell + Elmer Gantry (vocals, from Stretch) Frank Aiello (vocals) Jeff Beck (guitar) Gary Moore (guitar) Bernie Marsden (guitar) Kirby (guitars, from Stretch) Jack Bruce (bass) David Sancious (keyboards, from Jack Bruce Band) Don Airey (keyboards) John Cook (keyboards, from Stretch) Chris Glen (bass) Neil Murray (bass) Mel Collins (sax)
- My opinion: I love this album. It contains the song who started my love for Gary Moore, ´Sunset´. A very beautiful and slow instrumental, it's magical! I also enjoy a lot the song ´The blister´, with a terrific rhythm by Cozy, Don Airey and Gary Moore. Don plays just in those two tracks, ´Sunset´ and ´The blister´.
- Reading Rock - VVAA (1982) (LIVE)
- Guests: Richard Bailey, Steve Cherry, Clive Edwards, Fish, Chris Glen, Rob Hawthorn, Jackie Lynton, Bernie Marsden, Andy Nye, Michael Schenker (RIP: Randy California)
- Comments: A double live album recorded live from that festival, although this is not 100% true. Some tracks weren't really recorded there (the UFO track, for example. They even didn't play there!). There are two different editions of the album. Some albums include a Whitesnake track, while my edition includes a Twister Sister track (two tracks by them, really). The list of bands featured is: Whitesnake (a track from 1979), Terraplane, Marillion, Jackie Lynton, Budgie, Chinatown, Randy California, Stampede, Michael Schenker Group (with Chris Glen), Just Good Friends, UFO (a track from 1980), Grand Prix, and Spider. Bernie Marsden & SOS play the song ´SOS´. By the way, that festival also held the appearance of a Spanish band, Baron Rojo, although they aren't featured in this album.

- Guests: Steve Donnelly, Michel Gaucher, Chris Glen, Roger Hawkins, David Hood, Clayton Ivey, Bill Liesegang, Graham Walker, Snowy White (RIP: Tommy Eyre, Wayne Jackson, Andrew Love, Reggie Young)
- Comments: Eddy Mitchell is a French singer quite famous in his country. He has a long discography, but this is a special album. Part of the sessions were held in London, and the rest of the album was recorded in Alabama.
The British sessions (5 songs) feature great names: Snowy White (guitar), Billy Liesegang (guitar), Steve Donnelly (guitar), Chris Glen (bass), Tommy Eyre (keyboards), Wayne Jackson (trumpet, trombone), Andrew Love (sax), Graham Walker (drums).
The American sessions were held at legendary Muscle Shoals Studios, with the usual personnel there: the fantastic Reggie Young (guitar), Will McFarland (guitar), David Hood (bass), Roger Hawkins (drums), and again: Wayne Jackson (trumpet, trombone) and Andrew Love (sax). - Yin - Fish (1995)
