Album of the Day

Comprised of former members of Free, Mott The Hoople and King Crimson, Bad Company started at the top from its formation some 40 years ago. The British band’s second longplayer, STRAIGHT SHOOTER, rose to #3 on the U.S. album chart and was certified 3x platinum behind the hit singles “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad” as well as the rock radio staple “Shooting Star.” The Deluxe Edition of the arena rock classic includes 14 bonus tracks, all previously unreleased except the B-side “Whiskey Bottle.” Among the standouts is a stripped-down version of “Shooting Star,” a remix of “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad” with alternative guitar and vocals tracks, as well as two lost gems: “See The Sunlight” and “All Night Long.” Carefully remastered using the original tapes, bad never sounded as good as it does on STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
