THE ANGELS (aka Angel City) – No Exit ‘Recharged’ [re-recorded +12] (2019)

We have been featured here as requested, remastered reissues of Aussie rockers THE ANGELS. Now their record label is releasing “No Exit Recharged”, an expanded reissue / re-recording of their third Australian album ‘No Exit’ just in time for its 40th anniversary, and The Angels will to take the songs out on the road and celebrate them in the best way The Angels know how, with a massive tour.

Fast forward four decades, ‘No Exit’ is still a fan favorite. As the anniversary approached for its big 4-0, it was a natural progression for The Angels to enter into the studio and re-record the album, prepare a tour, and presenting the LP in its entirety, plus all classics.
It has become something of a tradition for the band to celebrate their albums this way, and rightly so, after all, these releases have made an indelible imprint on the Australian music psyche. They’ve celebrated 40 years of their previous Face To Face album in similar fashion.

The album, which spawned classic hits such as the title track ‘No Exit’ and the still beloved show-stoppers ‘Shadow Boxer’ and ‘Mr. Damage’, peaked at No. 8 in the charts.
By the time the LP was released, The Angels were Australia’s highest paid band, attracting record crowds wherever they played. As the consummate frontman, the charismatic Doc Neeson injected a strong theatrical edge into the band’s on-stage antics.
The high energy sound, powerful guitar riffing and muscular yet supple rhythm section made the overseas markets to take notice.

With a new cover artwork (I still prefer the original pictured above) this “No Exit Recharged / 40th anniversary” features 12 bonus tracks, including the rare standalone studio single ‘My Light Will Shine’, and the entire album performed live plus two extras.
The sound quality is excellent.
