For their third album, Ian Gillan and his mates Ray Fenwick, Colin Towns, John Gustafson and Mark Nauseef ventured into new territory with a spirited set of 10 new originals that would soon become rock radio and rock fan favorites. Tracks like "Mercury High" "Apathy" "Fool's Mate" and the classic title track "Scarabus" would become staples for the band, as their creative forces hit a new level with this fine release.
