Gypsy's Fourth Album, "Unlock the Gates"

Last record by the original group, released in 1973 by RCA. This album is a disappointment. Rumor is that RCA forced the release of this album before they were ready. And, they weren't making a lot of money, either. A musician's life is a tough one.
The horn section from the band "Chicago" is on some cuts.

Highlights: Don't get mad, get even. Unlock the Gates. Steve likes "Precious One" for the harmonies.
LP: RCA APL1-0093 1973
