Notes:

- It was a hot June afternoon at the 1985 open air festival at St. Gallen/Switzerland when Swiss/English rock band SERGEANT took the stage. One hour later they left to the roar of the 25,000 strong crowd after playing songs from their debut album "SERGEANT" including the popular single "UPSIDE DOWN". The band had spent 1985 gigging in Europe supporting such bands as Krokus, Uriah Heep, Joe Cocker, Wishbone Ash and Alaska before returning to the studio in December. SERGEANT emerged in January 1986 with the second album "STREETWISE" for Gama Records/Germany.

After the addition of a new bass player in spring 86 the final line up is:

Pete Prescott (Lead vocals)

Rob Seales (Guitars, vocals)

Harry Borner (Bass, vocals)

Urs Amacher (Keyboards)

Gary Steimer (Drums)

In August 86 the English record company Power Station released "LIFE IN THE FAST LINE" on album featuring re-moxed songs from SERGEANT's two albums plus some previously unreleased tracks. As well as appearing on various Swiss TV shows and recieving many radio plays (including the English BBC 1 "Friday night rock show" hosted by Tommy Vance) the band has continued to play concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In August SERGEANT play at the open air festival at Arbon/CH with international acts such as Status Quo and Magnum. -
