More information: Originally founded in 1969 by former Crazy World of Arthur Brown organist Vincent Crane, Atomic Rooster recorded five albums between 1969 & 1973 and enjoyed two hit singles with the tracks ‘Tomorrow Night’ and ‘Devil’s Answer’ in 1970 and 1971 respectively. The band line-up varied from album to album, but it was generally recognised that the “classic” line-up of the band featured Vincent Crane joined by John Du Cann (guitar, vocals) and Paul Hammond (drums) that existed between 1970 – 1971.
Atomic Rooster finally disbanded in 1975, but in 1980 Vincent Crane and John Du Cann reformed the band to record a new album. The sessions featured Preston Heyman on drums and the album Atomic Rooster was released in September 1980. The album featured a muscular rock style and was well received. To promote the album the band undertook a tour which featured drummer Paul Hammond back in the ranks. A memorable concert at London’s Marquee Club on 19th November 1980 was recorded and eventually released in 2002.
This remastered edition of Atomic Rooster has been expanded to a two disc set to include the Live At The Marquee 1980 album, but also features a further 11 bonus tracks drawn from studio-out takes, demos and a rare single B-side. The set also includes a booklet with a new essay.
