BAD COMPANY / PAUL RODGERS

PAUL RODGERS – Midnight Rose (2023)

Legendary rock and roll vocalist PAUL RODGERS is ready to rock with a new album of original music. ”Midnight Rose”, his first solo studio release in nearly a decade, arrives September 22 on Sun Records. A celebration of a storied career and a feel-good, hopeful look towards the future, ”Midnight Rose” features Paul’s quintessential larger-than-life vocals in a whole new chapter of his career.
Named one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, Rodgers powers through all original, new tracks like “Living It Up,” “Take Love,” and “Photo Shooter.”
Recorded in Canada, this album does its best to satisfy hardcore Bad Company fans. Overall it’s a good example that Rodgers still has the ability to produce great material after years of playing his greatest hits.
His back-up band is excellent too. With Bryan Adams’ lead guitarist into the line up and legend Bob Rock producing, the album sound and feels fantastic…

GARY MOORE / PAUL RODGERS

Excellent Dutch reissue label Music On CD has just made available again “Muddy Waters Blues : A Tribute To Muddy Waters“, the fantastic album by PAUL RODGERS featuring on each track contributions from the greatest Rock guitarists around: the unique Gary Moore, Brian May, Buddy Guy, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Neal Schon, Brian Setzer, Richie Sambora, Slash, Steve Miller, and Trevor Rabin, plus Jason Bonham on drums.

BAD COMPANY / PAUL RODGERS / REMASTER / THE FIRM / THE LAW

THE LAW (Paul Rodgers) – The Law [Friday Music Deluxe Edition +1 Remastered]

Here’s another request fulfilled in the form of the Friday Music Records deluxe remastered edition of THE LAW self-titled album plus a previously unreleased track. In 1991, the legendary Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Co., Queen) and powerhouse drummer Kenney Jones (The Faces, The Who) teamed up as THE LAW and delivered one incredible smash album.
Although a short venture, it’s been an enduring chapter in the career of both superstars.

With some major player help from David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, Chris Rea, and Pino Palladino, the album netted the duo a #1 AOR smash in the track ‘Laying Down The Law’.
Phil Collen (lDef Leppard), wrote ‘Miss You In A Heartbeat’ for this album (later recorded by Def Leppard…

THE FIRM – The Firm [Japan Edition Digital Remaster / Victor ～ VDP-1016]

And after the recent Jimmy Page-related material, an obvious choice is his 80s super-group THE FIRM, formed in 1984 with singer Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), drummer Chris Slade (Uriah Heep, AC/DC) and awesome bass player Tony Franklin (all the greats).
The Firm’s self-titled resulted quite  successful both in America and Europe ranging from the epic “Midnight Moonlight”, based on a previously unreleased song by Led Zeppelin called “Swan Song” – first tinkered with during the Physical Graffiti sessions – to the commercial, catchy “Radioactive” which topped Billboard’s Top Rock Tracks chart.
Both THE FIRM albums have been repeatedly requested here, asking for the best sounding CD press as none have been remastered.
The choice is easy: at the time, there wasn’t better sounding CD’s than the discs manufactured in Japan. The OBI claims being a ‘Digital Remaster’, but in fact refers to the digital transfer, there wasn’t such ‘remastering’ concept / technology in the Eighties.
Anyway, the sound quality blows out of the water any other version, even today, because both The Firm albums never have been officially reissued, at least on CD.

THE FIRM – Mean Business [Japan Edition Digital Remaster / Victor ～ VDP-1080]

And after the recent Jimmy Page-related material, an obvious choice is his 80s super-group THE FIRM, formed in 1984 with singer Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), drummer Chris Slade (Uriah Heep, AC/DC) and awesome bass player Tony Franklin (all the greats).
”Mean Business” is the second and final studio album by the band, released in 1986, with the same bluesy formula as on the first album but according to times, even more polished in production.
Both THE FIRM albums have been repeatedly requested here, asking for the best sounding CD press as none have been remastered.
