Raving With Ian Gillan & The Javelins

Having only been previously available as a fan club label release, the long-forgotten debut 'Raving With Ian Gillan & The Javelins' includes 14 cover versions of 60s pop classics, all done the Javelins way and straight out of the band's 60s set list. Ranging from Chuck Berry to Cliff Richard and The Coasters, these catchy songs transport you back into a time when rock'n'roll music was at it's prime. Ian Gillan & The Javelins, at the time simply called The Javelins, were originally founded in the 60s. Being influenced by American Pop, Soul, Country, Jazz and Blues artists from across the pond, they soaked up the music of their heroes, added their own stamp and went from town to town to perform their favourite songs in front of a small but ever-growing audience - becoming local heroes in their own right.
