The Ian Gillan Band : Child in Time
Child in Time
is the debut album
by British
jazz-rock fusion band
The Ian Gillan Band,
released in 1976.
The album took
its title from the
Deep Purple song
"Child in Time",
a version of
which appears
on side two of the LP.
The album
reached No. 36
on Swedish charts
and No. 55 in UK.
This was
Ian Gillan's
first release after
leaving Deep Purple,
and also features his
former
Deep Purple
colleague
Roger Glover.
Before Ian returned
full-time to the
rock music industry,
he made one brief,
but significant,
live appearance on
the performance of
Roger Glover's
"The Butterfly Ball",
on
October 16 1975
at Royal Albert Hall,
London.
Ian sang
"Sitting in a Dream".
A film of the event was
originally shown in
UK cinemas in 1977.
Later released on video,
it was quickly deleted.
Although
The Ian Gillan Band
went on to
produce material
more suited to their
jazz-rock label,
this first album has
much more of a
harder rhythm
and blues style
