RICHIE KOTZEN / SMITH / KOTZEN

SMITH / KOTZEN – Better Days EP (2021)

BMG will release a limited-edition 1-inch black vinyl of four previously unreleased tracks by Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen’s project SMITH/KOTZEN on November 26 in conjunction with international Record Store Day’s Black Friday event.
The “Better Days” EP reflects the ongoing strength of the dynamic writing and recording partnership between these two world-class musicians, following their eponymous debut album released in March 2021 to media and fan acclaim, charting in the Top 20 in markets such as U.K., Germany, U.S. and Canada, a tremendous accomplishment for an inaugural collaboration project.

RICHIE KOTZEN & GREG HOWE – Tilt [Japan mini LP Remastered Limited Release] Out Of Print

Here’s another not-so-typical request, but we love shred instrumental albums as well: RICHIE KOTZEN & GREG HOWE first collaboration “Tilt“. Released in the mid-Nineties, the album became hard to find since then.
This Japanese reissue from the past decade – the only ever done as far we know – sounds fantastic. Not only has been remastered, but although it isn’t specified, it has been remixed too. Just listen to the rhythm section tracks; if you are familiar with this album this is immediately noticeable since the opening song.
While into the original release drums have a ‘fusion’ feel, on this Japanese version snare & bass both sound much more ‘rocking’.
Anyway, what hasn’t changed is the awesome guitar work from these two monsters; Howe always on the left stereo channel, and Kotzen on the right.
Great stuff, out of print
