Running Man was an UK band project led by guitarist Ray Russell, before he played with Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames, Rock Workshop and Nucleus. The trio with Alan Greed (b, p, voc), Alan Rushton (dr) realised one self-titled album in 1972 with the support of Harry Beckett (tp, flugelhorn) and Gary Windo (sax). Their sole record offers an excellent mixture of heavy rock and blues, harsh rock singing and jazzy improvisations. It was also the last album of the Neon sub-label of RCA.
This record was poorly sold and it is therefore a sought-after worldwide rarity. After disbanding right after Russell had a short engagement for Graham Bond and formed another short-living group called Mouse with the now rare album Lady Killer in 1973.
