Bad Company has announced they will release two of their biggest albums on 180-gram vinyl on July 1 via Rhino Records.
Their debut album, Bad Company (1974) was the band’s only number 1 album in the U.S. and reached 3 in the U.K. Formed in 1973, Bad Company consisted of two former members of Free, vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople and Boz Burrell of King Crimson. The album spawned two international hits, Can’t Get Enough (1974 / #5 U.S. / #15 U.K. / #3 Canada) and Movin’ On (1974 / #19 U.S. / #30 Canada).
They followed the next year with Straight Shooter, another multi-platinum set, that included Good Lovin’ Gone Bad (1975 / #36 U.S. / #31 U.K.) and Feel Like Makin’ Love (1975 / #10 U.S. / #20 U.K. / #5 Canada).
