Sam Gopal – Escalator

Escalator is the only album by the Sam Gopal band, released in 1969 on the small Stable Records label. The band also recorded “Horse” and a Willie Dixon cover “Back Door Man”, which survive on acetate, and appear on this re-released album as bonus tracks. Ian Fraser Kilmister, later known as Lemmy, joined the band after playing in The Rockin’ Vickers, but appears as Ian Willis, as he was considering changing his surname to that of his stepfather George Willis.
