BAD COMPANY - STRAIGHT SHOOTER (GOLD CD)

Bad Company Straight Shooter on Gold CD from Audio Fidelity

Mastered by Legendary Engineer Steve Hoffman

Classic Hard Rock At Its Best!

Bad Company brought back a stripped down, no-frills approach to blues-based rock 'n' roll and their second studio album, Straight Shooter was certified gold a month after its 1975 release, reaching #3 on the Billboard charts. The album spawned a handful of FM radio staples and Top 40 hits starting with "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Good Lovin' Gone Bad," "Deal With The Preacher" and the wistful "Shooting Star" revealed a softer side to the band's usual hard rock dynamic.

The British supergroup, features Free bandmates, Paul Rodgers on vocals and rhythm guitar and drummer Simon Kirke, King Crimson's Boz Burrell on bass and guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople. By this album's release Paul Rodgers was firmly established as one of the premiere rock vocalists of the '70s. Straight Shooter refined Bad Company's irresistibly commercial melodic hard rock into perfectly consumable bite-size chunks. The album's classic art work was designed by Hipgnosis.

Featuring stellar mastering by iconic engineer Steve Hoffman, Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this Bad Company masterwork bests all prior editions. The audiophile label specializes in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases and beautifully reproduced original graphics. As always, the original master tape was played back on a specially constructed vintage tube playback deck, with the analog masters put through the new "Kensei Audio Transformer," a process that adds even more life to the music.
