BANDIT – Partners In Crime [Bad Reputation remastered] (2021)
UK’s BANDIT are mostly remembered for their connection to AC/DC, this time being the former band of bassist, Cliff Williams. After Williams departed his prior band, Home, he and vocalist Jim Diamond drafted a few other musicians – including drummer Graham Broad (now of Roger Waters’ band) and guitarist Danny McIntosh Jr (now the guitarist for, and husband of, singer-songwriter Kate Bush) for their new project, Bandit.
Arista Records were quick to show interest and by 1977, their self-titled debut had hit record store shelves. Sales were slow and minimal, prompting a return to the studio in 1978, which yielded “Partners In Crime“.
Though the debut was bluesy hard rock, this second LP saw the band evolving toward a softer AOR sound. Now Bad Reputation records has not only remastered this good album, but also is releasing it for the first time on CD…
