    Neglected Gems
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2022*

I had the first 3 Rooster albums on vinyl and loved them. But then came the loss of John Cann and the shift of direction, with a funkier groove rather than the heavier sound that was in vogue at the time. Having seen and heard Chris Farlowe's vocal histrionics with Colosseum, I had decided the new Rooster line up (mk 3) was not for me without giving them a hearing. Listening to new albums without actually shelling out your hard earned cash was not that easy back in the 70's. Fast forward 40 years and the purchase of the excellent 'Heavy Soul' Rooster compilation showed me exactly what I had missed out on. I actually fell in love with Farlowe's vocals to the extend that I purchased the Colosseum albums on which he featured. Certainly the new Rooster line up's output wasn't going to trouble the singles charts, but they had a unique sound within British music. Appetite well and truly whetted for Rooster Mk3 I wanted to acquire the 'Made in England' and ''Nice n' greasy' albums and couldn't believe my luck on discovering this 4 cd box-set covering 5 albums. Not only did I have the added bonus of having the complete albums on CD but also some previously unheard tracks/versions inclusive of excellent alternative versions with either John Cann's guitar over-dubbed on several tracks from their first album (as per. their first U.S. release) or over-dubbed Pete French vocals on the UK hit single Devil's Answer (as per. the US release  of 'In Hearing of') to reflect the rapidly changing line-ups that Rooster went through between their UK and US release dates. This box set has everything from their studio album output that you could possibly want. Why it took me best part of 50 years acknowledge Farlowe's vocal brilliance is beyond me. Loved the John Cann period, but now reckon that their unjustly poorly received later albums are as good if not better. If we could turn back the clocks and recognize these gems in 1972 and 1974, Rooster may have continued and put out more albums with this line up. Our loss. Of course Vincent Crane was the main man throughout, and his keyboard sound  and artistic vision led Rooster through their rapidly changing line-ups and styles, usually at the worst possible times commercially. A band that could have been premier league along side the likes of Deep Purple and Zeppelin at the time, but sadly largely a Rock footnote for their Devil's Answer and Tomorrow Night Hit singles. Of course there was so much more.......and here in this box set you have all the reasons why. Buy it.

    My favourite box set of the year
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2017*

Well, say hello, wave goodbye to the weekend. It’s at times like this I’m glad I have no life.Instead I can sit down with a four disc collection of one the greatest and most underrated bands Ever. Atomic Rooster. There was something in every incarnation that was special. Well, maybe not the 1980 version but even the closing “Headline News”, a Vincent Crane solo album in all but name was a treasure.This box set, though, is all about the early days. As it says on the tin, “The Studio Recordings: 1970-1974”. And they were magnificent years for the legendary Mr Crane and the assorted musicians he took along the way with him. From the early prog years through the crossover “In Hearing Of” to the bizarre Chris Farlowe fronted prog soul sounds of “Made In England” and “Nice ‘n’ Greasy”, this was music like no other. For your bucks you’re getting all five albums they put out in those four years plus an assortment of demos, singles and overseas edits and exclusives. It’s hard to know where to begin as I love them all. The somewhat basic Carl Palmer featuring debut has it’s charm, “Death Walks Behind You” is probably the darkest album of all time. Bugger your Sabbaths, this is heavy.My favourite is probable “In Hearing Of”, the sole record to feature Cactus / Leaf Hound vocalist Pete French. It’s probably the peak of Vincent Cranes compositional skills. This fabulous box set squeezes in 55 tracks and has an illustrated booklet with a new essay by Malcolm Dome (sadly not written by leading Atomic Rooster journalist Mr H) featuring exclusive interviews with Nick Graham, Pete French, Steve Bolton and Chris Farlowe. My favourite box set of the year.
