William Richard "Billy" Thorpe AM was an Australian musician who achieved fame as a pop singer in the 1960s and a hard rocking guitarist in the 1970s. And like most Australian pop and rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s, Billy was born in the UK. He then when on to further fame in the US in the 1980s where he is best known for the album Children Of The Sun.
Like it's predecessor Stimulation, East Of Eden's Gate is a straight rock album. However, this album sees Billy in a more cynical mood, and it was after this album that Billy would stop touring and recording rock music for several years to pursue other interests including children's toy development and soundtrack work, before joining Mick Fleetwood in The Zoo for the Shakin' The Cage project. East Of Eden's Gate has never been officially released on CD except for the title track which appears on the Children Of The Sun ... Revisited album, and unlike his other US albums, this album was never officially released in Australia in any form.
Billy Thorpe passed away suddenly on 28 February 2007.

Special Notes: As this album was never officially released on CD, this rip comes from a pirate CD edition. Despite this, the quality of the artwork isn't too bad.
Credit Where Credit Is Due: Like other links on this site, these links were found through extensive internet searches, sometimes on some fairly dodgy sites. Occasionally the links are found on forums that allow the posting of currently in-print albums, which I do not condone.

Does anyone have the liner notes on the studio musician's for the record? I lost my copy long ago...
The musician credits on appear on the artwork that can be downloaded here.
