| | Description: | Digitally remastered edition. Includes 12 page booklet - 3,500 word essay by Dave Reynolds and new band interview. The rather oddly named Wiggy Bits were formed from a long line of well-known New York East Coast musicians during the early '70s. The various members had seen active duty in bands ranging from the Blues Magoos and Balance (vocalist Peppy Castro), Barnaby Bye and Aviator (drummer Mike Ricciardella) to psych rockers the Illusion (guitarists Ritchie Cerniglia and Mike Maniscalo together with Mike Ricciardella). With their various individual projects falling apart, Wiggy Bits were than formed as a rather effective hard rock band and handled by, none other than, Hall And Oates manager Tommy Motolla, a man who would eventually become the CEO of Sony music. Recording at the Record Plant in NYC, the band's lone album is a fine example of strong yet melodic mid-'70s hard rock with the emphasis on edgy dynamics, powerful riffs and the soaring vocals of Peppy Castro. Signed to Polydor, their album was produced mainly by the band (engineered by future super producer Jimmy Iovine) was issued in 1976, and despite it's quality received little fanfare outside of a handful of critics and fans from their previous groups. The album, building on a ground swell of solid hard rock tracks such as 'Free To Ride The Wind', 'Oh Captain', 'I'll Write You Off' and 'Place In The Sun', showcase a band with an ambitious mandate, employing lots of solid lead guitar and impressive arrangements. Sadly the project faltered but several other better known successful splinter projects emerged from the ashes, including Network, Balance and Aviator."Wiggy Bits (Collectors Edition)" is a special reissue of the self-titled debut album by Wiggy Bits, originally released in 1976. This CD edition, produced by Rock Candy Records, brings back to life one of the hidden gems of classic hard rock and AOR from New York City. The band was known for their powerful vocals, dynamic guitar riffs, and infectious melodies that captured the spirit of mid-70s American rock. Though Wiggy Bits only released this single album before disbanding, its members went on to play with notable acts such as Balance and Network. The Collectors Edition features remastered audio and detailed liner notes that shed light on the band's brief but impactful journey. Rock Candy Records is renowned for their meticulous attention to detail in reissuing classic albums from the golden era of rock music; they are celebrated among collectors for restoring overlooked masterpieces with high-quality sound and comprehensive packaging. | | | No. of tracks: |
