The six-disc Bad Company: The Swan Song Years 1974-1982 collects together their output for Swan Song. These are all fairly recent remasters (from the original tapes), with Desolation Angels and Rough Diamonds brand new 2019 remastered versions. The other albums included are: Bad Company (1974), Straight Shooter (1975), Run with the Pack (1976), and Burnin Sky (1977).
Bad Company formed when members of Free (Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke), King Crimson (Boz Burrell) and Mott The Hoople (Mick Ralphs) decided to pool their talents back in 1973. They became the first band to sign to Led Zeppelins Swan Song label later that year. The bands 1974 debut Bad Company went to number one in America and was a massive seller thanks to songs like Cant Get Enough, Rock Steady, and Movin On. The multi-platinum streak continued a year later with Straight Shooter which delivered standouts like Good Lovin Gone Bad, Shooting Star and the Grammy-nominated smash, Feel Like Makin Love. The band carried on with double-platinum releases for the next few albums, before ceasing operation in 1982 after the measly gold of Rough Diamonds, becoming the last studio album the original quartet released.
