  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Limited edition triple compact disc album, in an 8 panel digisleeve, including a 24 page booklet compiling interviews, live reviews and commentary on the band’s history plus photos and memorabilia from Gordon Beck’s personal archives and albums. Compiled from studio, live and rehearsal session recordings, made in 1973 and 1974, from the tape archives of Ron Mathewson and Gordon, and released with the support of the Gordon Beck Estate, the CDs provide a chronological audio history of Gyroscope’s formation and development, ie their ‘Progress’. Gyroscope only ever released one album, and that was on tape cassette only, on Gordon Beck’s own Jaguar Records label which he distributed himself.

    Gordon Beck's Gyroscope:
    Gordon Beck – piano, electric piano, composer
    Brian Smith or Stan Sulzmann – tenor & soprano saxophone, flute
    Frank Ricotti – vibes, percussion
    Ron Mathewson – bass, electric bass
    Tony Levin – drums, percussion
