The Steve Gibbons Band was formed by a vocalist and guitarist who had been active on the Birmingham music scene since the early sixties. He had previously played in the bands The Ugly's and Balls (with Trevor Burton, known from The Move, and Denny Laine, formerly of the Moody Blues), and later joined Idle Race, arriving just at the end of its activity, but together with his colleagues he formed his own band. The box contains three studio albums by the band: "Any Road Up" from 1976, "Rollin' On" from 1977 and "Down In The Bunker" from 1978 and the live ones, "Caught In The Act" from 1977 and "BBC Radio One In Concert" recorded on 17 November 1977 at the Golders Green Hippodrome in London. A total of nineteen bonus tracks have been added to the first four, taken mainly from John Peel's broadcasts. The band's music is hard rock with elements of folk, and Gibbons himself has been compared to Bob Seger. All the records have been remastered, and the whole thing comes in a rigid box. (MU)
