Scarabus is the third and the last studio album by British jazz rock band Ian Gillan Band, released in October 1977.
The
album was reissued in 1982 by Virgin Records in the height of
popularity of Ian Gillan's group Gillan (a CD edition followed in 1989).
The CD reissue included an extra track, "My Baby Loves Me". This track,
recorded live at the Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan, on 22 September 1977,
was originally part of the double LP set Live at the Budokan, and had
been omitted from the UK release in error.
Ian Gillan re-used the
vocal melody of the title track "Scarabus" on the song "Disturbing the
Priest" six years later, on the album Born Again (1983) during his short
tenure with the British hard rock/heavy metal band Black Sabbath. The
guitar riff on "Mercury High" is the same as the one played by guitarist
Ray Fenwick on "Back USA" from his 1971 solo album Keep America
Beautiful, Get a Haircut.
The "witch" on the US cover comes from an
adaptation of the movie poster for the 1976 horror film The Witch Who
Came from the Sea, which itself was based on an older Frank Frazetta
painting.
