CONEY HATCH – Outa Hand +3 [Rock Candy Remastered & Reloaded]

We already featured here some albums from one of the most underrated Canadian bands of the ’80s: CONEY HATCH. Remastered & Reloaded by Rock Candy Records, and appeared on CD for the first time, the band’s second effort “Outa Hand” is a hell of a rocking album.
Their highly respected self-titled debut album (also available on the blog) garnered much international acclaim, especially in the United Kingdom, allowing the Canadian four piece to unleash an even more impressive sophomore LP.
Issued in 1982, and produced by English maverick Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Y&T), the band succeeded in crafting an album that many regard as their greatest work.

Combining the best of both worlds – that’s melody and muscle – into one remarkable package, “Outa Hand” went on to establish Coney Hatch as arguably one of the most endearing and successful Canadian rock acts of the Eighties, being MTV regulars and supporting metal icons Iron Maiden on a sold out North American arena tour.

From the punch of ‘Don’t Say Make Me’ and melody of ‘First Time For Everything’, to the rockin’ ‘Some Like It Hot’ & the catchy ‘Fallen Angel’ to the nice, smooth, feel-good ballads ‘To Feel The Feeling Again’ & ‘Music Of The Night’, there is not a weak track here.

Now available for the first time on CD, Coney Hatch’s “Outa Hand” has been fully remastered, repackaged (with involvement from the band) and features 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original sessions.

And let me tell you that these bonus are great songs – even the demo ‘Fly On’, in its rough mix, is a great addition to the Coney Hatch legacy. The other two bonus tracks are sung by Carl Dixon (‘Nobody Gives You’), and by Andy Curran (‘Your Kinda Love’).
The sound of this remastered version is clear and powerful at the same time, and it also includes a 16-page colour booklet with rare photos and with very interesting comments behind the “Outa Hand” sessions provided by Carl and Andy.
Very, Highly Recommended
