On BANJO!? Youre kidding right?
Should be guitar unless I'm all mistaken.
Looks like a great release to say the least! It's one of the first recordings of Janick's guitar playing and early songwriting so it's undoubtedly an interesting record. It'll probably be impossible to come over for me but I'll do my best!

Fantastic news! I have this album on LP already for years! Always wondering when it would be out. For the ones who don't know this, watch out for the track "Fool for the Gods", seriously a true epic masterpiece! And the guitar solo in "Red Skies" is one of my favorite Gers solos.
Sanctuary really made a nice package if you realize that the original album only had 7 songs.

I guess you've never seen Ian Gillan introduce other band members. He usually refers to the guitar player as the banjo player. Not to mention Bruce's introduction of Adrian Smith at Rock am Ring...
Obviously Janick plays guitar. And what I've heard from that album ('High upon high') is pretty good. Really worth buying if you are into Deep Purple or Uriah Heep (two of my favourite bands ever).
