BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE - NOT FRAGILE (GOLD CD)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive Not Fragile on Gold CD from Audio Fidelity

1974's Not Fragile is the third album from Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The album marked a slight change in direction as the band's already heavy sound turned more directly toward metal. Thunderous bass and drums, strong vocals and howling dual-guitar solos by Randy Bachman and Blair Thornton are prominently featured on many of the tracks.

From the opening chords of "Not Fragile" to the jazz stylings of "Rock Is My Life" to the pounding C.F. Turner hit track "Roll On Down The Highway," this album is packed with gems including Randy Bachman's famous stuttering-vocals on the #1 hit "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."

The riffs on this album are heavy and plentiful, bristling with raw, chomping guitar power. Other cuts had significant airplay on FM rock radio and most of the material on Not Fragile are the band's classic rock anthems. Not Fragile reached #1 on the U.S. Pop Album charts and is one of the finest arena rock albums of the '70s.

Featuring stellar mastering, Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this Bachman-Turner Overdrive masterpiece 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.
