NUTZ 'HARD NUTZ' CANDY369 ‘Hard Nutz’, the band’s third studio album, was unquestionably the pinnacle of their creative achievement thus far. It was a record that fully refined their objectives by bringing not only their sound and material into a fully cohesive package but also positioned them as real contenders. Issued in 1977, and featuring new member Kenny Newton on keyboards, the record was greeted enthusiastically by their devoted fan base. Produced by Gary Lyons and John Sinclair (who would that same year produce the multi-million selling debut from Foreigner) the album contained some of their best tracks, like ‘Seeing Is Believing, ‘I know The Feeling’, ‘From Here To Anywhere’ and the pre-NWOBHM gallop of ‘Wallbanger.

FORTNOX 'S/T CANDY366 Based in the Southern state of Georgia, Fortnox could be described a storming power trio, led by guitarist/vocalist Rick Fowler, who were signed to industry heavyweight Epic records. In an enterprising move the label hooked them up with up with hot shot British producer Chris Tsangarides (Ozzy Osbourne, Thin Lizzy) who took control of recording the band’s sole album, in Atlanta. The album received positive reviews but despite extensive touring, playing with the likes of Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and April Wine, support from the label began to dwindle, leaving them unable to carry on – a real shame as the quality of this record showed enormous potential. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION, FULLY REMASTERED AUDIO, 4 BONUS TRACKS, 16 PAGE FULL COLOUR BOOKLET, 3,500 WORD ESSAY ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM INCLUDING NEW INTERVIEW AND ENHANCED ARTWORK TRACK LISTING: 1.ON THE PROWL 2.STORM INSIDE MY HEAD 3.RUNNING FROM YOURSELF 4.THE BEAST IN ME 5.ROCK AND ROLL CITY 6.WHAT ABOUT ME 7.LUCIFER’S EYES 8.ROCKIN’ IN AMERICA 9.ANOTHER LADY 10.DON’T SCRATCH THE SURFACE 11.HYPEROCK. BONUS TRACKS 12.DEEP INSIDE 13.STAND TO BLAME 14.THIS AIN'T LOVE THIS IS WAR 15.DANGER RULES THE NIGHT
NUTZ 'LIVE CUTZ' CANDY370 Faced with a lack of progress Nutz’s label, having seen them play gigs, suggested that they try to reverse this situation by issuing a live album – something that would show the world how great and exciting they really were and what we were all missing. True to form, the album is a red hot slice of explosive hard rock documenting this great, but underappreciated, band in full flight. With a fully comprehensive selection of tracks from the band's career, it also included two new songs ‘You Better Watch Out’ and ‘Can Be Loved’. It’s easy to see why the band is now regarded as one of the forerunners of the NWOBHM. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION, FULLY REMASTERED AUDIO, 12 PAGE FULL COLOUR BOOKLET, 3,500 WORD ESSAY ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM INCLUDING NEW INTERVIEWS AND RARE PHOTOS TRACK LISTING: 1.SEEING IS BELIEVING 2.LOSER 3.PUSHED AROUND 4.YOU BETTER WATCH OUT 5.R.S.D. 6.JOKE 7.CAN BE LOVED 8.WALLBANGER 9.KNIFE EDGE
LOVE/HATE 'WASTED IN AMERICA' CANDY377 Based in Los Angeles and signed to Columbia Records they had issued a well-received debut album. It was a record that positioned them as a harder, more street-cred option to the majority of other bands playing around the Hollywood scene – somewhere between Guns N’ Roses and Skid Row. And with Jizzy Pearl they had one of the best frontmen in town, one with the look and bravado to carry them far. ‘Wasted In America’ is an electric and exciting record, produced with bluster and bravado, lending the band a monstrously dirty edge, helping to elevate their songs to another level. If you like your rock loud, dangerous and devilishly raw then look no further. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION, FULLY REMASTERED AUDIO, 2 BONUS TRACKS, 16 PAGE FULL COLOUR BOOKLET, 4,500 WORD ESSAY ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM INCLUDING NEW INTERVIEWS AND ENHANCED ARTWORK TRACK LISTING: 1.WASTED IN AMERICA 2.SPIT 3.MISS AMERICA 4.CREAM 5.YUCCA MAN 6.HAPPY HOUR 7.TRANQUILIZER 8.TIME’S UP 9.DON’T F*CK WITH ME 10.DON’T BE AFRAID 11.SOCIAL SIDEWINDER 12.EVIL TWIN BONUS TRACKS 13.CASTLES FROM SAND 14.SOUL HOUSE TALES
SHELTER 'FIRST STOP' CANDY382 Signed to the Polydor label, this classy East Coast outfit displayed an impressive style, like a knock out combination of Foreigner and Survivor. Issued in 1982, ‘First Stop’ showcased a sound that was fast becoming the biggest thing on US radio. Sadly, it was not to be. The album was released with virtually no marketing or publicity, crash landing with the muted fizzle of a damp firework. Eventually, the band split up, but their music lives on; tracks such as ‘On The Line’, ‘Tricks’ and ‘Who Do You Love’ resonate with pure spit and polish. And Listen out for ex-Steeplechase frontman Joe Lamonte’s hugely impressive vocals. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION, FULLY REMASTERED AUDIO, 12 PAGE FULL COLOUR BOOKLET, 3,000 WORD ESSAY ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM INCLUDING NEW INTERVIEW AND ENHANCED ARTWORK TRACK LISTING: 1.ON THE LINE 2.SO GLAD I FOUND YOU 3.THE WAY I FEEL 4.WHO DO YOU LOVE 5.WHY 6UNDERNEATH YOUR MAKE-UP 7.SHELTER 8.TRICKS 9.FOOLISH LOVERS 10.BECAUSE OF LOVE
