BAD COMPANY – Bad Company [2CD Remastered Deluxe Edition] (2015)

*

For the first time ever, BAD COMPANY has remastered their two seminal first albums using the original tapes to create new Deluxe Editions. It was paramount to founding member Paul Rodgers that the CD and LP be copied from the original tapes to guarantee the best sound possible.
Each set includes a newly remastered version of the original album, along with a number of rare and unreleased recordings.
Both records influenced countless bands in Rock history, and remain as true staples of British Classic Rock.

Formed in Westminster, London by two former Free band members – singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke – as well as Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell, Bad Company or simply Bad Co, recorded the band’s eponymous debut in November 1973 using Ronnie Lane’s mobile studio at Headley Grange, the former poorhouse where Led Zeppelin recorded frequently.

When “Bad Company” was released the album went to #1 in America during the band’s first U.S. tour and was eventually certified 5x platinum thanks to hits like “Can’t Get Enough,” “Bad Company,” “Ready for Love,” and “Movin’ On.”

This “Bad Company 2CD Deluxe Edition” not only features impossible to find B-sides and takes showcasing how the band developed their music in the early stages, but the main Bad Company debut album sounding in all its glory, a record that in many ways defined the British sound & style of an era.
A must have in any serious Classic Rock collection.
