SAM GOPAL
ESCALATOR

ESOTERIC RECORDINGS are pleased to be release the classic 1968 Psychedelic Rock album, “Escalator”, by SAM GOPAL. One of a handful of albums released on the short lived STABLE imprint, “Escalator” is a gem of an album that is notable for the presence of Ian Willis, otherwise known as LEMMY. However, “Escalator” is as memorable for the talents of Malaysian born percussionist Gopal and his band also including Roger D’Elia (Guitar) and Phil Duke (bass). With such fine material as ‘The Dark Lord’, ‘The Sky is Burning’ and ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’, “Escalator” is an essential album of British underground rock from the late 1960’s. This Esoteric Recordings reissue has been re-mastered from the original tapes and fully restores the original artwork.
