BAD COMPANY - DESOLATION ANGELS
The original box is pretty rough, so we are including one of our nice replica boxes with this sale, you can see images of the replica box in the first and last 4 photos
I like his former band Free a lot, Paul Rodgers is a great singer; he sings his lungs out and his bandmates write catchy songs with heavy riffs. I can’t reel-y say anything bad about Bad Company.
The sound quality of this tape album is very good, no complaints there either. The stereo, as usual for 70s rock records is fine.
Both sides of this 4-track tape play from start to finish with absolutely no issues of any sort. The tape is fresh, it’s flat, shiny and supple, and packed perfectly flat on the reel.
The existing translucent white leader was retained.
Please see the photos to check condition of the box and reel.

Bad Company are an English rock supergroup formed in Albury, Surrey, England in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, drummer Simon Kirke and later adding bassist Box Burrell. Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.
Contrary to speculation that singer Paul Rodgers named the band after the Jeff Bridges film Bad Company, Rodgers stated in an interview with Spinner.c o m that the idea came from a book of Victorian morals, that showed a picture of an innocent child looking up at an unsavory character leaning against a lamp post. The caption read "beware of bad company".
Bad Company consisted of four seasoned musicians: two former members of Free, singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke; former Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs; and ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. The band signed to Swan Song/Atlantic Records in North America, and with Island Records in other countries. (Island Records had until that time been the UK home to both Free and King Crimson, as well as to Mott the Hoople for their first four albums; Atlantic, in turn, released King Crimson's and Mott's early albums in the US through a licensing agreement with Island). Atlantic/Warner Music would later acquire the non-North American rights to the band's catalogue.
1979's Desolation Angels did better than its predecessor, peaking at No. 3 in the US and No. 10 in the UK. Desolation Angels also embellished the group's sound with synthesizers and strings. It had two charting singles: "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" at No. 13 and "Gone Gone Gone" at No. 56.
