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.
