Bad Company - Desolation Angels (180g 2LP 45RPM Analogue Productions)

The members of Bad Company maintained a grueling pace over the first few years of their career, releasing four albums (and touring steadily) between 1974 and 1977. By the time they finished recording the fourth LP, Burnin' Sky, they were exhausted and clearly in need of a break.

The band re-emerged on March 17, 1979 with their fifth LP, Desolation Angels, another solid 10-track slab of blues-influenced rock whose impressive chart performance proved that even among the rising tide of younger punk and New Wave acts, there was still a strong demand for Bad Company's signature sound, writes Ultimate Classic Rock.

The vocal passion of "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" became the album's gold-selling single, and the album as a whole takes on a more polished feel than its predecessor Burnin' Sky. "Gone, Gone, Gone," "Lonely for Your Love," and "She Brings Me Love" work best in vocalist and rhythm guitarist Paul Rodgers' favor, and fans did prove their loyalty, pushing the album to the No. 10 mark in the U.K. and to No. 3 in the U.S.

The album went platinum for sales of more than 1 million copies, and double platinum subsequently.
