Baker Gurvitz Army was an English rock group. Their self-titled debut album featured a blend of hard rock laced with Ginger Baker’s drumming. The lengthy “Mad Jack” was that album’s outstanding track, and the album hit the US Billboard 200 chart, and peaked at #22 in the UK Albums Chart. The two following albums contained similar material, although neither charted in the UK nor the US.

Elysian Encounter is Baker Gurvitz Army’s second studio album.
