• 3-CD SET

On download, streaming and CD for the first time ever, the only Gyroscope album ‘One, Two, Three… Go!’ ever released, expanded with live and studio recordings from the archives plus a wealth of first-hand information about the band and many previously unseen images. Produced with the support of Gordon Beck’s sister Jude and the approval of the band members or their families.

Compiled from studio, live and rehearsal session recordings, made in 1973 and 1974, from the tape archives of Ron Mathewson and Gordon, and released with the support of the Gordon Beck Estate, the album provides a chronological audio history of Gyroscope’s formation and development, ie their ‘Progress’.
