BOC: Songs that Set the Hook

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Neat set of thoughts.
 For my pasrt I loved the first four albums ages back but in the light of
the Y2K, they don't have the magic and necessry kick-ass ingredients that
stand up as classics. In the light of this penchant by groups and record
labels to remaster everything in sight from the '70's, I keep hoping that
the first three studio albums will get the treatment. As to 'On Your Feet',
I remember a certain Geoff Barton proclaiming it as one of the greatest live
albumson the planet, yet like so many live albums, the post-production
flattened it and the vibrancy was not there, again a classic case for a
remaster, perhaps. As to later albums, well. 'Agents' earned them loads but
screwed the machinery real bad that it took several albums for them to
recover (in my humble opinion). The two subsequent live albums came close to
wild abandon,but it was 'Imaginos' that really put them back on track and
'Revolution By Night' that put them back up there with the greats ( my fave
album)
I must admit that, apart from the album of re-recordings of old classics
('Champions Of Rock'), which strangely had mixed results (who was playing on
this??), I've lost sight of the band for the last few years, so really can't
comment on late '90's activity - here's hoping their light will shine again
one day.

forward to that one, folks)
