In 2018 The Javelins reformed with the original members including Ian Gillan on lead vocals, and made a new album full of rock and roll covers from the 1950s/1960s era. It was released on 31 August 2018. IAN GILLAN AND THE JAVELINS is a sixteen-track collection features covers of American blues, rock 'n' roll, soul and country tunes, including renditions of rock classics. These contemporary recordings by THE JAVELINS are drawn from set lists, circa 1963, when Ian Gillan was 18 years old. Now, a few years later, Ian Gillan have the privilege and joy of working with old mates from the original group, as they make a long-overdue album. Ian Gillan has defined this new studio album as "a collection of catchy rhythms and feel-good melodies". This understating definition shows Gillan's ability to still look at those songs and his whole career with the same eyes of the 18-year-old boy who sang them many years ago. Avoiding the use of any modern technology, the band has managed to find the spontaneity and true sense of freedom of pop and rock and roll music of 60 years ago, probably without completely realizing it themselves. One world superstar and four friends who have taken very different directions in life, but still able to capture the essence of what being a performing band is about. This album is what happened during five days of recordings in a studio in Hamburg, Germany, where instruments, microphones, lyrics sheets and memories were the only tools allowed. This album is not an act of nostalgia, or a celebration of the purity of the old days versus modernity. This is simply what The Javelins were in 1963… and this is what they are now, if they happen to meet in the studio, embracing their guitars and look at each other with a big smile on their face. This is where it all started.

The Javelins was Ian Gillan’s first band back in the early ‘60s. They played clubs in West London, but never recorded. Back at the tail end of the last century Gillan made a few calls and got back in contact with rhythm guitarist Tony Tacon, bass player Tony Whitfield, drummer Keith Roach and lead guitarist Gordon Fairminer and they recorded a series of rock ‘n’ roll covers for posterity. Rock ’n’ roll, pop and rhythm 'n' blues by way of the British skiffle movement, there were a thousand bands just like them up and down the country, but only one of The Javelins turned this music malarkey into a career. Still, listening to this, the rest of the guys weren’t so bad, and they’ve polished their chops too. There’s solid playing throughout, and some creative touches that add individual personality here and there, more importantly Ian Gillan sings well, often from the heart, kindling old memories in some cases probably. This is the result of five days recording in Hamburg. It’s neither camp nor dipped on postmodern irony. Most of the songs stand the test of time, so they could be forgiven sounding like nothing more than pub cabaret. The fact remains however they have a light airy touch about them that offers just enough character to let Ian Gillan prove he really can sing. Play loud and sing along, unashamedly. It ain’t wild and woolly but it might entertain you.
