Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: Gun, “Race with the Devil,” 1968

This British band had a top ten hit in the U.K. with this number, their only brief success–the Gurvitz brothers, the core of Gun, later formed Three Man Army, and then later in the 1970s teamed up with ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker to form the Baker Gurvitz Army.  

Feel free to add links to any favorite numbers by Gun, Three Man Army, or Baker Gurvitz Army.
