The name Paul and Adrian started with was Curtis as their father used that as his professional name while manager for The Shadows. They moved to Gurvitz during the Three Man Army days.
I think it was called The Gun by the band, but got switched back and forth through the years...
Interestingly enough, that was Roger Dean's first cover - and The Gun's next was one of the first for Hipgnosis as well. And later Three Man Army, Graeme Edge Band and Baker Gurvitz Army covers were the early work of former Hipgnosis artist John Petagno who is known for his Motorhead and other metal band covers.

I'm a little behind the times. Paul Curtis changed his name to Gurvitz? I bought that album because I liked the Roger Dean cover.

I also never knew that the bands name was "The Gun". When did that happen?
