| | Description: | Fully remastered. Features the definitive monster boogie anthems â??Fool For The Cityâ?? and â??Slow Rideâ??. 16 page full colour booklet â?? 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interviews. Of all the British bands that were big in America during the 1970s, Foghat were, without doubt, the least known in the UK. With a succession of hit albums to their name in the US it was not unusual for them to achieve gold-selling status and pack out large venues in every city they visited. By the time of this album (their 5th) the band was primed and ready to join the superstar league. They didnâ??t disappoint and were jet-propelled to Platinum status by delivering a major hit single, with the uncompromising but entirely ear worm friendly â??Slow Rideâ??, a song that has firmly cemented itself in the hard rock hall of fame. Their monstrously heavy style of twelve-bar boogie and pounding musical riffs cemented them a reputation second to none. â??Fool For The Cityâ?? is a work of perfection. Produced by the bandâ??s new bassist Nick Jameson and boasts a number of killer tracks including the eight minute centrepiece â??Slow Rideâ??, together with â??Drive Me Homeâ?? (featuring the sound of a real car crashing) and the crushing title track. Housed in one of the most humorous album sleeves of the era, the record is a golden milestone in the hard rock pantheon. - .. -180GR.-//NUMBERED LIMITED EDITIONTake It Easy: 1975 Album Includes All-Time Smash Hit 'Slow Ride'. Mastered from the Original Tapes for Explosive Sound. Some songs are so ingrained in our consciousness that they are immediately identifiable upon hearing one or two notes. Featuring one of the most indelible riffs ever played, Foghat's air-guitar anthem 'Slow Ride' is such a tune. The hit single turned the British band into stars and catapulted 1975's Fool for the City up the charts. And what a ride it is. We hear a lot of yearning today about the good-old, glory days of rock and roll, the simple kind that just locked into a good beat, turned out a raunchy groove, and simply kicked you in the butt. The no-pretense type meant for kicking back, letting loose, and surrendering to the melody. Bare-bones music that doesn't need image or looks as a crutch. Well, this is it, friends, classic meat-and-potatoes 70s rock that comes with killer slide-guitar solos, crunchy leads, driving rhythms, and soaring vocals. No need for any further instructions or explanations. The pact between artist and audience is understood. Here, the band trusts that you know what to do and is ready to rock out with anyone in earshot. Sourced from the original master tapes by trusty engineers that were just stunned at the amount of new detail they were able to pull from the tape reels, Mobile Fidelity's remaster of this Foghat gem bring to the surface the band's marble-solid sturdiness and bluesy structures like never before. Bass notes are thicker and richer, the dual guitars bite and snap, and Lonesome Dave Peverett's singing comes across with realistic grit. By comparison, all previous pressings of this album sound flat, uninspired, and boxy-the absolute opposite of the energy Foghat brings to the boogie-infused title track, great cover of the Righteous Brothers' 'My Babe,' and, of course, the everlasting 'Slow Ride,' a staple of the Guitar Hero video game franchise and gentlemen's clubs everywhere.Gatefold Sleeve
