These pictures were taken either at Musicland studios in late 1975 during the recording of the Ian Gillan Band debut album Child In Time, or in Montreux in January 1976 during the mixing of the album - which seems more likely. Ian had his hair cut off some time prior to this but began to grow it back again prior to the live debut of the band. The pictures were taken for Pop and Music Life magazine at the time and are from the DPAS Archive.
