Doing a 180: Bad Company, Live ‘77
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. This is the latest to get that treatment. You're welcome.
For this installment of “Doing a 180,” we’ve got a release that we’d like to think will go down in history as a classic album, but the truth of the matter is that it’s technically only been out for less than two months.
If you’re a regular visitor to this website or, at the very least, someone who keeps tabs on Rhino’s release schedule, then you already know that this past April brought the release of Bad Company’s Live in Concert 1977 & 1979 digitally and on CD. What didn’t emerge at that time, however, was a vinyl version of the album, although we did forewarn you that a 180-gram LP of the ’77 show was destined for release in the near future.
That future has arrived, my friends: Live ’77 is here, and it’s a 2-LP set featuring 15 tracks recorded during Bad Company’s May 23 performance at the Summit, in Houston, Texas. spread over the course of four sides.
