Alex Harvey was active in the music industry from the very birth of
British rock and roll. A Zelig-like figure, he won a contest to
become Scotland’s Tommy Steele in the 1950s, followed the Beatles
to Hamburg in the early 1960s, dabbled in psychedelic rock during
the Summer of Love, and joined the house band of counterculture
musical Hair at the close of the decade. By the time 1972 rolled
around, he had been there and done that, but had never made it big.
He was 37 years old, and thinking of calling it a day. Also
thinking of calling it a day were Scottish hard rockers Tear Gas.
They had released two albums, each with a different line-up, none
of which set the world alight, and now their singer wanted out. In
a last-ditch effort to salvage something, Alex Harvey and Tear
Gas’s respective managers decided to unite their respective acts.
The result was Sensational. This book examines not only the eight
albums by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, but also Harvey’s
earlier work with his Soul Band and solo, and his post-SAHB
releases. It also reviews those two Tear Gas albums as well as
Fourplay, the album SAHB released without Alex.
