KROKUS – One Vice At A Time [Rock Candy Remastered & Reloaded]

‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ by Rock Candy Records, KROKUS kick ass LP “One Vice At A Time” was part of the ’80s records of the band reissue campaign from the label. Something the fans of the Swiss Hard Rock pioneer band have been demanding for some time.
There comes a tipping point in every artist’s career where years of hard work and paying dues suddenly turn into an avalanche of praise and success.
Krokus reached this point with the release of “One Vice At A Time”, a supremely crafted album boasting a clutch of tracks that elevated their appeal far beyond anything previously conceived or, indeed, achieved.

Co-produced in London by former AC/DC engineer Tony Platt and issued in 1982, with “One Vice At A Time” the band made a concerted effort to refine their sound and ambition by bringing their trademark style fully into focus.

Jam packed with a number of raucous tracks such as “Bad Boys Rag Dolls”, “To The Top”, “American Woman” (a metallic cover of the Guess Who classic) and perhaps their best known song “‘Long Stick Goes Boom”, there is room enough for the band to drill down deep yet retain a sense of composure befitting a band safe in the knowledge that they were about to reap the rewards of years of hard work.

Look out for an appearance by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who provides backing vocals on the track “I’m On The Run”.

The early Krokus albums really needed a modern sound treatment, and this Rock Candy remaster does justice to this fun, hard rockin’ band and album.
