JAGGED EDGE – Fuel For Your Soul + Trouble +10 [Bad Reputation 2xCD Remastered] (2021) *EXCLUSIVE*
As requested, here’s the Bad Reputation records digitally remastered 2-CD re-issue of JAGGED EDGE‘s two albums Fuel For Your Soul + Trouble plus 10 bonus tracks.
JAGGED EDGE first came together in 1987 masterminded by guitarist Mike Gray after his split from Dorian Gray. After a few different line-up and demos, Myke Gray retained the Jagged Edge name and linked up with Sanctuary management. Gray recruited Italian drummer Fabio del Rio (Bruce Dickinson) and ex-Tokyo Blade bassist Andy Robbins plus Swedish singer Matti Alfonzetti (Bam Bam Boys, Skintrade).
They first released a five track EP “Trouble” in 1990 followed by their full debut “Fuel For Your Soul” in the same year. The debut album (produced by Jeff Glixman of Kansas fame) is a clear winner for fans of Whitesnake and early Thunder.
JAGGED EDGE was formed in the ’80s by guitarist Myke Gray, only found a stable line up at the end of the decade when they recorded the 2-track EP “Trouble”.
Here is presented on CD 2 with the addition of 8 bonus tracks; 4 studio tracks from the same sessions, and 4 captured live with a very good sound quality. All these are carefully written, arranged and performed classic melodic hard rock songs, where Alfonzetti’s voice shine and there’s a very good guitar work, quite raw ans straight from the amp.
Then full length ”Fuel For The Soul” is a much more ‘bigger’ production, with a huge polished US production sound typically from the 1990-1991 years. It’s a really complete album including fiery bluesy rockers, midtempo AORish tunes, and a power semi-ballad in the title track.
As usual, the Bad reputation release is excellent compiling all the JAGGED EDGE (wich later changed to JAGGED EDGE UK as there was a US rap band with that name) material from the era, fully remastered.
