    Tear Gas formed in 1969 as Mustard, a Glasgow rock quartet with guitarist Zal Cleminson, bassist Chris Glen, and 18-year-old drummer Gilson Lavis, a native of Bedford. Their original vocalist, Andy Mulvey, hailed from Scottish beat legends The Poets.

    By 1970, Mulvey cleared out singer David Batchelor. After Lavis cleared for drummer Richard “Wullie” Monro, Tear Gas signed with Famous Music, a division of Paramount Pictures.

    The band’s second album, simply titled Tear Gas, appeared in August 1971 on Regal Zonophone. Batchelor and Cleminson co-wrote six of the nine songs, including “That’s What’s Real,” “I’m Glad,” “Lay It On Me,” and “The First Time.” Tear Gas also includes covers of Jethro Tull (“Love Story”) and Elvis Presley (“Jailhouse Rock” and “All Shook Up,” both recorded live).

    Their two Presley covers appear on the Mexican Capitol comp Convivencia Sagrada with cuts by The Move, Edgar Broughton Band, Masters Apprentices, Heads Hands and Feet, Quatermass, Triangle, and Northwind.
