Here’s another "Gravy Train" listing someone just posted:

Well, this release has finally landed:

Exactly. That Sam Gopal "Father Mucker" album is fantastic. It’s also quite rare. Besides the "escalator" album, there is an EP and a single out there; I’ve never actually laid eyes on the single. Since everything is included on the album, owning it feels more like a collector's pursuit. Sam actually has about five or six other albums sitting as finished masters, but nothing else has ever been released besides those two. Apparently, he's back in the studio again, even though he's well over 70 now. "Father Mucker" featured some additional Tablas, and they even used Tablas for a blues track. Most of the material was recorded in 1990 but wasn't mixed until 1999. One specific track was actually created in 1999, which is when the album was finally released. That's the long and short of it. ;-)

An interesting list:
