THE RUNNING MAN

RAY RUSSELL, ALAN GREED, ALAN RUSHTON

plus HAROLD BECKETT and GARY WINDO 

It's Ray Russell-time again, which means at least some good savage progressive 

style guitar. Typical seventies progressive rock tracks are effectively 

alternated with a few almost Procol Harum-like numbers, characterised 

by the plaintive voice of Alan Greed. This combination makes for a partly 

successful concept, sounding at times a bit too self-serious, 

but on the whole it's quite listenable.

Many of the personnel were also in Rock Workshop...(Tapestry of Delights)

Ray Russell has had quite the glittering career. Setting off at age 15 with the 

John Berry Seven, the guitarist went on to play with the Graham Bond Organisation 

and then Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames. Eventually, Russell would 

lend his talents on-stage and/or in the studio to a plethora of performers, 

from Tina Turner to Lulu, the Bee Gees to Phil Collins, 

and branching out in the '70s to compose for the small screen. 

Amidst this busy career, Russell also put together the odd band, like the Running Man, 

whose sole, eponymous album was released with little fanfare in 1972.....

Defying easy description, The Running Man is deliberately unfocused, 

defiantly experimental, and in its own dizzying way, a grandiloquent 

excursion into the deepest recesses of early-'70s rock...(AllMusic)
