From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escalator is the only studio album by the English psychedelic rock band Sam Gopal released in 1969, on the small Stable Records label.[1] The band recorded "Horse" and a Willie Dixon cover "Back Door Man", which survive on acetate, and appear on the re-released album as bonus tracks.[1] Ian Kilmister, later known as Lemmy, had joined the band after playing in the Rockin' Vickers and is credited as "Ian Willis", as he was considering changing his surname to that of his stepfather George Willis.
