Why This Record Matters
Bad Company introduced one of the premier hard rock supergroups of the 1970s and remains their most iconic release. Featuring classics such as "Can't Get Enough," "Movin' On," and the title track, the album became a cornerstone of FM radio rock. Its blend of bluesy hard rock and memorable songwriting continues to attract new listeners and longtime collectors.

Collector Note
1978 US reissue on Swan Song, catalog number SS 8501. Matrix/runout inscriptions ST-SS-743137-K and ST-SS-743138 identify an early reissue sourced from original-era metalwork. While not a first pressing, original-era Swan Song reissues remain desirable for their all-analog sound and period-correct presentation.
