Bad Company - Desolation Angels [2LP]

Bad Company’s swaggering blues-rock magic returns in high fidelity with this deluxe 45RPM 2LP reissue of their 1979 classic, Desolation Angels. Featuring the gold-certified anthem “Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy,” this is a must-have for fans of bold hooks, gritty riffs, and Paul Rodgers' unmistakable voice.

Part of the prestigious Atlantic 75 reissue series, this edition celebrates one of Bad Company’s last truly great albums with stunning audiophile quality, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. It’s not just nostalgic – it’s powerful, polished, and punches harder than ever thanks to the 45RPM cut that brings out every note in full clarity.

The album marked a strong return after a much-needed break, with the band flexing their songwriting muscles across 10 tracks. From the thumping groove of “Gone, Gone, Gone” to the aching vulnerability of “She Brings Me Love,” Desolation Angels walks a fine line between grit and grace. Rodgers' vocals are particularly potent on “Lonely for Your Love,” blending soul with stadium-ready rock.

Commercially, the record soared – platinum-certified, reaching No. 3 in the U.S. and No. 10 in the U.K., proving that even in a shifting musical landscape, Bad Company’s bluesy bravado still ruled. This reissue doesn’t just relive the past – it elevates it.
