Bad Company – Bad Company – Analogue Productions SACD

Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Bad Company’s eponymous 1974 debut featuring “Ready for Love” Hybrid Stereo SACD Mastered directly from the original master tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound From the wreckage of Free came Bad Company, the English hard rock supergroup fronted by singer Paul Rodgers and featuring his drummer bandmate Simon Kirke, Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982. The group’s eponymous 1974 album debut decidedly proves the band is proudly not progressive the details make a difference, as do the pastoral acoustics of the closing “Seagull” reducing their rock ‘n’ roll to a strong, heavy crunch; compare “Ready for Love,” a tune Ralphs brought over from Mott the Hoople, to the original to see how these quartet members keep their heads down as they do their business. Appropriately enough given their name, there’s a sense of slow, churning menace to Bad Company, writes AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine. Their first three albums, Bad Company (1974), Straight Shooter (1975), and Run with the Pack (1976), reached the Top Five in the album charts in both the U.K. and the U.S.. Many of their singles and songs, such as “Bad Company,” “Can’t Get Enough,” “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Ready for Love,” “Shooting Star,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy,” remain staples of classic rock radio. They have sold 20million RIAA-certified albums in the U.S. and 40 millon worldwide. The self-titled debut album was recorded at Headley Grange, Hampshire, in Ronnie Lane’s Mobile Studio. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S, and No. 3 on the U.K. Albums Chart, spending 25 weeks on the U.K. charts. The album has been certified five times platinum in the U.S., and became the 46th-best-selling album of the 1970s. The singles “Can’t Get Enough” and “Movin’ On” reached No. 5 and No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 10. 1. Can’t Get Enough2. Rock Steady3. Ready For Love4. Don’t Let Me Down5. Bad Company6.
