ANGEL 'WHITE HOT' CANDY416 "WHITE HOT' WAS ANGEL's fourth album, following three highly praised previous records. This time around, they decided to take stock and plan a different musical strategy. One that saw them refining their style, drawing on hard hitting pop rock rather than overt prog influences. In addition, they brought in a new producer, Eddie Leonetti, a man who had been building a healthy and respectable reputation as the hard rock producer de jour. His previous work with fellow LA rockers Legs Diamond helping to cement the decision to use him. Originally released in 1978, and housed in a beautifully illustrated sleeve, the record boasted ten tracks of lean and mean rock, with the emphasis on hard hitting hooks and hip kicking riffs.

ANGEL 'SINFUL' CANDY417
AFTER FOUR ALBUMS there was a strong feeling that Angel were building towards some sort of creative crescendo. Of course, they had already moved through a progressive rock stage, working towards a more accessible style, perfectly framed by their previous album, ‘White Hot'. The focus was now on pure pop rock, the band crafting exquisite, melodic, hard rock with riffs and hooks to die for. They were also defining their image, the ‘Sinful’ album sleeve showcasing a band with perfectly coiffed hair wearing stunning all white superhero style outfits. It was an angelic sight to behold. Issued in 1978, recorded in Los Angeles and produced once again by Eddie Leonetti (Legs Diamond, Moxy, Rex) the record packs an impressive sonic punch, easily outpacing their previous works. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 2 Bonus tracks, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new liner notes by Angel expert Dave Reynolds and enhanced artwork. TRACK LISTING: 1.DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE 2.L.A. LADY 3.JUST CAN’T TAKE IT 4.YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE 5.BAD TIME 6.WAITED A LONG TIME 7.I’LL BRING THE WHOLE WORLD TO YOUR DOOR 8.I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN 9.WILD AND HOT 10.LOVERS LIVE ON. BONUS TRACKS: 11.VIRGINIA (Foxes Soundtrack) 12.WALK AWAY RENEE
FASTWAY 'ALL FIRED UP' CANDY391 WHEN GUITARIST ‘FAST’ Eddie Clarke left Motorhead in 1982, few would have expected him to eclipse the success of his former band. Motörhead, although hugely successful as a live act and feverishly lauded in the UK rock media, had not enjoyed significant record sales in North America. For Clarke this was an opportunity to build a musical outfit that could break into that market with a widescreen approach. It was a smart move as Fastway’s debut album struck gold in the USA, elevating their profile far beyond Motörhead’s niche appeal. Continuing their progress they recorded ‘All Fired Up’, issued in 1984, a record that stylistically mirrored the band’s debut album and it was produced by industry legend Eddie Kramer (KISS, Hendrix, Humble Pie), who had so successfully guided the previous record.

MISUNDERSTOOD 3.STEAL THE SHOW 4.STATION 5.NON STOP LOVE 6.HURTIN’ ME 7.TELL ME 8.HUNG UP ON LOVE 9.THE STRANGER 10.TELEPHONE 11.IF YOU COULD SEE
ANGEL 'LIVE WITHOUT A NET' CANDY418 IN THE 1970s double live albums were often the calling card of an act that had either made its mark or were about to explode to international fame. Eyes had been on Angel for some considerable time, expecting an anointment to the premier league. Because label mates KISS had exploded with their epoch-making ‘Alive!’ it seemed as though Angel could have the same success. There was no shortage of material from which to compile this album. Recording two concerts in California during 1978, the band had a red hot selection of tracks that incorporated such nuggets as ‘Tower’ and ‘Feelin’ Right’ (complete with a Jeff Beck tribute), the pop metal of ‘Ain’t Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore’, ‘Got Love If You Want It’ and ‘White Lightning’. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new liner notes by Angel expert Dave Reynolds and enhanced artwork.

WIGGY BITS 'S/T' CANDY415
THE RATHER ODDLY named Wiggy Bits were formed in the early 70s from a long line of well known East Coast musicians. The members had seen active duty in various bands: The Blues Magoos & Balance (vocalist Peppy Castro), Barnaby Bye & Aviator (drummer Mike Ricciardella), psych rockers The Illusion (guitarists Ritchie Cerniglia and Mike Maniscalo, together with Mike Ricciardella). With their various individual projects falling apart, Wiggy Bits were then formed as a very effective hard rock band. The band’s lone album is a fine example of strong yet melodic mid-seventies hard rock, with the emphasis on edgy dynamics, powerful riffs and the soaring vocals of Peppy Castro. Signed to Polydor, their album was issued in 1976, but despite its high quality achiveved little success. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new liner notes by Dave Reynolds and enhanced artwork. TRACK LISTING: 1.FREE TO RIDE THE WIND 2.OH CAPTAIN 3.LIES 4.ELLIE 5.PLACE IN THE SUN 6.WIGGY 7.LOVE TRACKS 8.ALONE AGAIN 9.BAD SITUATION 10.I’LL WRITE YOU OFF
