The Running Man from 1972 [FLAC]






 
Only album from this outfit that featured the great guitarist Ray Russell, here in FLAC format.  I overlooked this one or didn't listen to it closely at the time, overshadowed by the masterpiece that is Ready or Not, one of the greatest guitar-based fusion LPs of the period, in my opinion.  And surely there were a lot of those.


Early 70s UK project band led by guitarist Ray Russell, and successor of Rock Workshop.
The Running Man were a trio with the known guitarist/bassist Ray Russell, vocalist/organist Alan Greed (Harsh Reality, Rock Workshop) and vocalist/drummer Alan Rushton (Ray Russell Quartet, Rock Workshop). They released only an album in 1972 on Neon, which recording was supplemented by Harry Beckett on trumpet and flügelhorn and Gary Windo on tenor sax. Their music is an interesting mix of hard rock, progressive and jazz similar to Patto. A classic example of the creativity of 70s british underground scene.
