Bad Company Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series
In this video, I take a listen to the Bad Company S/T debut album on 180-gram 45 RPM double LP and compare it to an original US pressing.
This was mastered and cut to lacquer from a 1/4" flat tape copy of the original master tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and pressed at Quality Record Pressings. Featuring a beautiful tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket with film lamination by Stoughton Printing
Bad Company's debut album, titled "Bad Company," released in 1974. It was a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album featured popular tracks such as "Can't Get Enough" and "Bad Company," which became signature songs for the band. Critics praised the album for its bluesy rock sound and strong songwriting. Overall, Bad Company's debut album established them as a prominent rock band of the 1970s.
Here's a wonderful live clip of Paul Rogers with Free singing the song All Right Now.
