CD Releases from the 'New Gabriel' at
terrylauber.com



"This Star On Every Heel" - 1974

"Sweet Release" - 1976

"Gabriel" - 1978

On Sale for the first time ever:

Gabriel  “unreleased”

In 1975 Gabriel submitted a demo, cut live at Kaye Smith Studios in Seattle, to ABC Records for their second LP. ABC thought the direction of this demo was wrong for the band and assigned a producer who would take the band in another musical direction.  This demo is probably as close as you will ever get to “Gabriel live” in this time period and should be of interest to any Gabriel fan.

Please visit our website www.gabrielsongs.com and follow the link to our store, where you’ll find “Gabriel Unreleased” and the complete Gabriel library featuring every song from the two ABC Dunhill albums and the CBS/Epic/Sweet City album.  Also featured there is a high quality T-shirt emblazoned with the Gabriel logo. You can pay via paypal with your credit card, even if you don’t have a paypal account.
