Armageddon - Armageddon (new Remastered Edition Of 1975 Album)

Digitally remastered edition of the British Rock band's 1975 album. Armageddon was one of THE great unsung bands of the mid-'70s. Formed in 1974 out of the ashes of the UK band Steamhammer, the group featured the vocal talents of former Yardbirds front man Keith Relf, alongside guitarist Martin Pugh, bassist Louis Cennmo and drummer Bobby Caldwell. Originally released by A&M Records in 1975, Armageddon's sole album featured some amazing music ranging from the Led Zeppelin-esque 'Paths And Planes And Future Gains' to the Progressive Rock of 'Silver Tightrope' and 'Basking In The White Of The Midnight Sun'. The much overused term 'lost classic' is, in the case of this record, most apt. This reissue has been remastered from the original tapes and restores the original album artwork and will appeal to lovers of Progressive and Classic Rock. Esoteric. 2009.

Bad Company - Bad Company (remastered 1974 Debut)

Bad Company's self-titled 1974 debut release was the first album to come out on the Swan Song label other than Led Zeppelin. Fortunately it proved to be one of the better debut albums of the decade representing good old fashioned back to the basics rock 'n' roll. "Can't Get Enough" with its catchy guitar lick was the big hit off of the album, but my fav track is still the moody title track (i.e., "Bad Company" off of Bad Company's "Bad Company" album). Bad Company was a supergroup, with singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke coming from Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, and Boz Burrell from King Crimson and having more success than all of those groups put together with this first album. Following the Led Zeppelin model, strong vocalist Rodgers and blues-based guitarist Ralphs provide the heart and soul of the music, giving Bad Company its signature sound. Meanwhile, do you think AC/DC got their idea for the cover of "Back in Black" from this one? Unfortunately it was all downhill for the group from this first effort, with "Straight Shooter" being a step down and "Run with the Pack" continuing the slide. If you pick up their hits collection "10 from 6" (which ignores one of the first six albums anyhow) you will get the four best tracks from this one, which is the only album from Bad Company that really stands alone.

Birth Control - Rebirth

Surviving another round of personnel changes that saw original bassist Bernd Koschmidder replaced by Peter F?ller and the addition of new keyboardist Zeus B Held and a second guitarist in Dirk Steffens, the revamped band returned with 1973's self-produced "Rebirth". Anyone expecting to hear a set of "Hoodoo Man" styled progressive moves was in for a rude awakening. With new bassist F?ller handling most of the vocals, tracks like 'She's Got Nothing On You' and 'No Shade Is Real' showcased an unexpected rock, boogie and blues sound. The results weren't bad, just different - far more mainstream than anything you'd have expected to hear. the extended 'Together Alone Tonight' started out as a pretty acoustic ballad before exploding into a killer rocker with a dazzling guitar solo from Steffens. Propelled by F?ller's rugged vocals, anyone hearing a hard rock track like 'Back from Hell' would have been hard pressed to ID these guys as being German. In fact, F?ller occasionally recalled a less spastic version of Deep Purple's Jon Lord. the brief progressive instrumental 'M.P.C.' offered momentary relief - and there was always Noske's extended drum solo, followed by Held's synthesizer meltdown on 'Back from Hell'.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (remastered)

"Paranoid" is not only Black Sabbath's most popular and breakthrough album, it is also arguably the best heavy metal album of all time. Saying that it's the best metal of all time should be enough to persuade you to buy it, but if you're still not convinced, read the rest of this review. Black Sabbath debuted in 1970, so they're probably one of the only bands you listen to that you're parents/teachers have heard of, can tolerate, and maybe even grew up listening to. Black Sabbath also saw the beginning of a guy named Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy would be fired from the band later in the 1970's, but he formed his own band, which was equally as successful. Plus, the work he did with BS earned him the title of "heavy metal's godfather." Black Sabbath are, to me, the epitome of heavy metal, since (probably) at least 90% of modern metal bands were somehow influenced by them. Granted, Led Zeppelin were probably the band to give birth to heavy metal, but Sabbath are just as responsible for most bands (from Pantera to Slipknot to Eyehategod). And "Paranoid," an album which featured five very famous songs, was pretty much as heavy as heavy music got in the 1970's, and was also the beginning of a type of metal known as "doom metal." Doom metal is slow and melancholy and has dark and sludgy riffs. Bands like My Dying Bride and Crowbar wouldn't exist if it weren't for Ozzy and the gang. Tony isn't as good as Randy Rhodes, the guitarist in Ozzy's solo band, but he still is pretty great. Plus, he is even more of a legend when you consider Randy Rhodes probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for Tony. "Paranoid" is plenty old (now), so it's sound quality has definitely taken a dip. Other than that, however, it has aged very well. It is still getting radio play and bands are still being influenced by it. Even if Black Sabbath broke up, their legend lives on through other bands. Thus, if I've ever heard an album that has withstood the test of time, this is it. "War Pigs" follows the classic Black Sabbath song structure (soft-loud-soft-loud). It begins with a few guitar riffs and a drum beat, before turning to "dun dun" riffs, with a high hat crashing in between them. Ozzy then starts to sing about witchcraft and war, Bob does some good hand drum work and Tony plays slowly cascading riffs. A wailing guitar solo is included, and the tempo speeds up, but the song ends soon thereafter. "Paranoid" might be the catchiest song the album. It's very fast paced with groovy guitars (which chug in the verses), has good vocal hooks and a short but sweet solo is tossed in at the end. "Planet Caravan" is very spacey and mellow, due to the almost aquatic guitar chords, dreary vocals, and soft hand percussion (which almost sound like tribal drums). This song is partially famous because Pantera covered it, and even though they did a pretty good job, there's nothing like the original version. "Iron Man" opens with a few thumping drums, then a world famous and very catchy guitar riff. The first four words are spoken with a robotic voice, and then the music changes to echo the vocals and lyrics. There's some more good, driving drumming here, but I think this guitar solo is the best on the album. "Rat Salad" is an instrumental, and Bill's drum work makes it famous. It begins with almost machine gun snare drumming and fast pounding floor toms, and there's a great drum solo around the 1:15 mark. This everything but the kitchen sink solo lasts for about 50 seconds. "Paranoid" is nothing short of a classic. It is absolutely essential listening, and a cornerstone of any heavy metal collection. Buy this album or forever be un-metal Plus, since heavy metal is an important part of rock's history, "Paranoid" is a must own for any complete rock collection.. And even if metal isn't your thing, at least give Ozzy, Tony, Terence, and Bob credit for being the influential godfathers of metal, and for making one of the most important albums of all time.

Black Sabbath - Sabotage

many hard-core Black Sabbath fans consider 1975's SABOTAGE to be the band's most underrated album. SABOTAGE was the last Sabbath album to truly contain all of the components that made the quartet one the most popular heavy metal bands of all-time, before it pursued less focused musical detours. The album's most surprising cut is undoubtedly the tripped-out psychedelic rocker "Am I Going Insane (Radio)," which would be included a year later on Sabbath's greatest-hits collection, WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR ROCK N' ROLL. Other standouts include the crushing album opener, "Hole in the Sky," as well as the ultra-stimulated rager "Symptom of the Universe," which would be used later as an opener for Ozzy Osbourne's 1982 solo live album of Sabbath nuggets, SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. While those just discovering Sabbath should stick with such landmark recordings as PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY, and SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH, there are more than just a few highlights on SABOTAGE. 1. Hole in the Sky 2. Don't Start (Too Late) 3. Sympton of the Universe 4. Megalomania 5. Thrill of It All 6. Supertzar 7. Am I Going Insane [Radio Edit] 8. The Writ

Buffalo - Dead Forever

1972 debut album by top Aussie band, originally released on the Vertigo label. First time available on CD in Digisleeve format. Booklet with authoriative & extensive liner notes by author & journalist Chris Welch. 8 tracks. Great hard rocking debut from this virtually unknown Australian band. While not as powerful as their next two albums, Volcanic Rock and Only Want You for Your Body, this is still an amazing slab of heavy blues based rock from the only Aussie band to be signed to the excellent Vertigo label. The always powerful John Baxter on guitar, and the rhythm section of Paul Balbi on drums and Peter Wells (future slide guitarist for Rose Tattoo) on bass manage the kind of hard riffs and heavy bottom end you'd expect only from British proto-metal of the period. This album features two vocalists, soon to depart Alan Milano, and mainstay Dave Tice for some very interesting and fairly unique vocal combinations not usually found in this style of music. This disc opens with an acoustic guitar strumming in a dark almost menacing manner. Drums quickly kick in followed by bass and electric guitar still playing the opening chords. Then it all comes together. Slow heavy sludge riffs, accented by some excellent drumming and heavy bass lines. This is Leader, and what an album opener it is! Great vocals from Tice singing about the corrupt leadership in the world (not the last time this band would make relevant political points in their songs). The tempo picks up as the song progresses, with some amazing non verbal vocalizing and sound effects. Buffalo has arrived! Susie Sunshine is an upbeat boogie, pretty common in '72, but it's fun and catchy number and was released as a single. You can catch a rare video of this one on youtube, the only footage I've seen of this band. Some great slide playing here, and it rocks a little harder as it goes. Right on Susie's heels the band rolls into a heavy cover of Blues Image's Pay My Dues, which would be covered in a similar fashion in the late 70's by American hard southern rock outfit, Blackfoot. Cool intro on this one, with some psyche guitar and sirens before getting down to business. This jams! Track 4, I'm A Mover (a cover of a Free song), keeps up the slow and heavy stoner rock. A long jam section in this one, some might say too long, but that's really a matter of taste. Ballad Of Irving Fink is yet more heavy, blues based dark riffs. Lyric describes a fairly typical story about a tough guy on the street "trying to survive". Next cut, Bean Stew, is an anti-hard drug song, not too far removed from Skynyrd's efforts on this subject matter, but a little darker in sound. Another long jam here, again not too far from what American southern rock bands were into, but with that darker edge. Forest Rain is easily my favorite song on this album. A dark atmospheric ballad (the only one on Buffalo's first three efforts), and it just floors me. Between the beautiful, almost sad music and sound effects (insects, birds, a thunderstorm, and later wind), this is one of those songs that carries you off to some Australian rain forest, and despite the melancholy lyrics, it's a place I want to go to again and again. Rocks in just the right places, but keeps the subdued mood intact. A brilliant song. Title cut Dead Forever closes out the original album (and my Repertoire CD), and it's a killer. More doomy stoner rock, but they kick it up a notch on this one. The band was living in a house that was rumored to be haunted. The guys were all stoned out after a show and decided to make a do it yourself ouija board and contact "the ghost". They either made contact or one of the guys was fooling them (Pete Wells was the main suspect). In any case, they asked the "ghost" what it was like to be dead. The response? Dead Forever! And that's the story behind the song and album title, and the close to a very strong first album. While short of the heavy rock perfection they'd achieve on their next two albums, this is well worth your time and money if you're into early 70's hard rock. Australia rocks! (Aron D. Rush)

Deep Purple - Deep Purple (remastered + 5 Bonus Tracks)

This is a record that even those who aren't Deep Purple fans can listen to two or three times in one sitting -- but then, this wasn't much like any other album that the group everissued. Actually, Deep Purple was highly prized for many years by fans of progressive rock, and for good reason. The group was going through a transition -- original lead singer Rod Evans and bassist Nick Simper would be voted out of the lineup soon after the album was finished (although they weren't told about it until three months later), organist Jon Lord and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore having perceived limitations in their work in terms of where each wanted to take the band. And between Lord's ever-greater ambitions toward fusingclassical and rock and Blackmore's ever-bolder guitar attack, both of which began to coalesce with the session for DeepPurple in early 1969, the group managed to create an LP that combined heavy metal's early, raw excitement, intensity, and boldness with progressive rock's complexity and intellectual scope, and virtuosity on both levels. On "The Painter," "Why Didn't Rosemary?," and, especially, "Bird Has Flown," they strike a spellbinding balance between all of those elements, and Evans' work on the latter is one of the landmark vocal performances in progressive rock. "April," a three-part suite with orchestral accompaniment, is overall a match for such similar efforts by the Nice as the "Five Bridges Suite," and gets extra points for crediting its audience with the patience for a relatively long, moody developmental section and for including a serious orchestral interlude that does more than feature a pretty tune, exploiting the timbre of various instruments as well as the characteristics of the full ensemble. Additionally, the band turns in a very successful stripped-down, hard rock version of Donovan's "Lalena," withan organ break that shows Lord's debt to modern jazz as well as classical training. In all, amid all of those elements -- the orchestral accompaniment, harpsichord embellishments,and backward organ and drum tracks -- Deep Purple holds together astonishingly well as a great body of music. This is one of the most bracing progressive rock albums ever, and a successful vision of a musical path that the group might havetaken but didn't. Ironically, the group's American label, Tetragrammaton Records, which was rapidly approaching bankruptcy, released this album a lot sooner than EMI did in England, but ran into trouble over the use of the Hieronymus Boschpainting "The Garden of Earthly Delights" on the cover; although it has been on display at the Vatican, the work was wrongly perceived as containing profane images and never stocked as widely in stores as it might've been.

Deep Purple - Live In Stockholm 12 Nov. 1970 (2-cd Set)

Digitally Remastered Reissue of the Concert Recorded in 1970 and Originally Issued in the 1980's under the Title "Scandanavian Nights". Recorded in Stockholm on Nov. 12 1970, this Edition Has Been Totally Remixed from Newly Found Four Track Tapes for a Brilliant Sound. The Revamped Artwork and Packaging Includes an Extensive Booklet. Live in Stockholm 1970 is a fantastic CD made a couple of years before Made in Japan. Purple were on all cylinders, improvising and playing like no one's business. Personally, I'd rather hear Mandrake Root or Wring that Neck instead of the Mule or Space Trucking. Black Night is amazing with Ritchie stretching out - could be the best version ever! I'm not going to say that Speed King is better than Highway Star or Into the Fire makes one forget about Smoke on the Water or that this version of Child in Time is better than Made in Japan's, but I just think that once you have heard MIJ a dozen times, this album makes a great alternative. In my opinion, it is the second best live Purple album just barely behind MIJ, but only by a little. Fortizymo , salinas, california

Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple (remastered + Bonus Tracks)

The usual perception of early Deep Purple is that they was a band with a lot of potential in search of a direction. Andthat might be true of their debut LP, put together in threedays of sessions in May of 1968, but Shades of Deep Purple is still a hell of an album. From the opening bars of "And the Address," it's clear that they'd gotten down the fundamentals of heavy metal from day one, and at various points, theelectricity and the beat just surge forth in ways that werestartlingly new in the summer of 1968. Ritchie Blackmore never sounded less at ease as a guitarist than he does on thisalbum, and the sound mix doesn't exactly favor the heavier side of his playing, but the rhythm section of Nick Simper and Ian Paice rumbles forward, and Jon Lord's organ flourishes, weave classical riffs and unexpected arabesques into "I'mSo Glad," which sounds rather majestic here. "Hush" was thenumber that most people knew at the time (it was a hit single in America), and it is a smooth, crunchy interpretation of the Joe South song. But nobody could have been disappointed with the rest of this record -- one can even hear the verydistant origins of "Smoke on the Water" in "Mandrake Root" once one gets past the similarities to Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady"; by the song's extended finale, they sound more like the Nice. Their version of "Help" is one of the more interesting reinterpretations of a Beatles song as a slow, rough-textured dirge. "Hey Joe" is a bit overblown, and the group clearly had to work a bit at both songwriting and their presentation, but one key attribute that runs through most of this record -- even more so than the very pronounced heaviness ofthe playing -- is a spirit of fun; these guys are obviouslyhaving the time of their lives rushing through their limited repertoire, and it's infectious to the listener; it gives this record much more of a '60s feel than we're accustomed to hearing from this band. [The EMI/Spitfire re-release from 2000 is notably superior to any prior version of the CD, made from the original master tape (which had been sent directly to the group's American label, Tetragrammaton, leaving EMIwith a vinyl dub, astonishingly enough), with textures far closer and crisper than have ever been heard before -- thereare also five bonus tracks, two very early outtakes from their earliest sessions, an alternate version of "Help," a BBCrecording of "Hey Joe," and a searing live U.S. television performance of "Hush."]
