James Gang: "Bang"


Released in 1973,
this was James Gang's sixth (6th) studio LP.

James Gang was one of the most notorious bands
EVER
for personnel changes.
Usually no more than three or four at a time,
during their first ten years they had nearly
twenty different band members.
After their first ten years (1966-76)
they broke up
until 1996 when Joe Walsh, Dale Peters, and Jimmy Fox
reunited to resurrect the fabulous sounds of the
James Gang.

One side of the inner sleeve is the most entertaining list of "acknowledgements" you'll ever read.
It is an amazing gallery of references to pop culture, favorite foods, and fellow rock stars.
Even Regis Philbin made the list.
Bet you don't know what he was doing in 1971 that would lead James Gang to mention him.


This album went to a fan in Texas.
