“This is essential, must-get release for fans of 1970’s hard rock.” —Roadburn
 
“One of the greatest hard rock albums of all-time.” —The Acid Archives
•High quality vinyl reissue of this hard rock monster from 1976 by legendary underground power trio led by guitarist Billy Lee Janey 
•Includes insert with history of the group, lyrics and rare band photos!! 
•Considered by many to be perhaps the best independent U.S. heavy rock release of the 1970’s
A total heavy sonic assault! Since the release of “No Rest for the Wicked’s” in 1976, it's stature among collectors of 60’s and 70’s hard rock and psychedelia has grown steadily over the years, with original copies now fetching large sums. Originally formed as Truth in 1969 in Iowa, USA, Truth & Janey was named after a record by Jeff Beck. Between 1973-75 they played thousands of gigs, many with Leslie West, as well as playing with Blue Öyster Cult at a festival in Davenport, Iowa in front of 20,000 hard rock fans. All the while, Truth & Janey were writing original material, gearing up to record their first full length album. In 1976, they laid down the tracks that would see release on their stunning “No Rest for the Wicked” album later that same year. The record featured six original tunes and two traditional blues covers revved up in true powerhouse Truth and Janey fashion. Only 1,000 copies of the album were pressed on the local Montross records. Just as the ball started rolling, it all ended, as Denis Bunce left the group and quickly thereafter they completely disbanded. In a last ditch effort, guitarist Billy Janey reformed the group with all new members in 1977 and released the “Just a Little Bit of Magic” album, but it was a move in a completely different direction and has little to do with the ferocious hard rock Marshall 100-watt super lead guitar sound that dominates “No Rest for the Wicked.” "Not to be dismissed because of its underground status, Truth and Janey's only LP, No Rest for the Wicked, was another incredible find... Boasting a swaggering, bluesy grit, piercing twin-harmony licks, and the most righteously ferocious rhythm guitar tone this side of Ted Nugent, opener 'Down the Road I Go' instantly establishes the band's '70s hard rock aesthetic whose roots, not surprisingly, lie in English giants like Cream, Jeff Beck, and even more so in Rory Gallagher's Taste." —AllMusic.
"No Rest For The Wicked is surely one of the greatest hard rock records of all time. It's tightly constructed and tightly played, with more memorable riffs and solos than the entire careers of a dozen other similar bands. The bass playing is monstrous and the drumming solid but, believe it or not, tasteful. This singing in only average, and the band tends to compensate with multi-tracked, highly reverbed lead vocals, not really the worst way to deal with the issue. A song that illustrates the best features of the band is "The Light," which opens with a combination of low and high guitar riffs, a melodic bass line and precise rhythm guitar. Not too many bands could resist the urge to go crazy with extra solos and spastic drumming, but this just works its way through a cleverly composed pattern, creating the right kind of tension and intensity. It's perfect. The best song is probably the nine-minute "Remember," a complete smorgasbord of melodic and dissonant riffs and hooks. The album doesn't have a lot of overdubs, but the production is quite professional, and it's heavy from start to finish; not a wussy moment on it. Guaranteed to blow the mind of any mainstream hard rock fan, and, of course, it sounds equally good to those who enjoy Tin House and Sir Lord Baltimore as much as Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. This is one of those albums where you keep thinking 'the next song can't possibly be as good as what's come before', but it always is." - Aaron Milenski/The Acid Archives

HOW WE SHIP RECORDS (AND OTHER ITEMS) TO YOU:

With the exception of a few odd-sized items, ALL LPs are packaged for shipment and sent to you in PROFESSIONAL QUALITY, SUPERIOR RECTANGULAR SHAPED, CORNER-PROTECTING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD RECORD MAILERS WITH FILLER PADS. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!

We are record collectors here, too, and we pledge to package your records (or any other item) in a way in which we would like to have records/other items packaged, sent to us and received by us as well.

When packaging up records that are non-factory sealed items (as is standard for many import releases) or are open "used" items for shipment, we remove the LP and inner-sleeve from the album cover and place them on the outside of the cover to protect the cover from being subjected to any potential seam-splitting during transit.

When packaging up factory sealed records for shipment, we leave the item sealed, intact, as is. HOWEVER. If a customer REQUESTS that we unseal a factory sealed record to send with the LP and inner sleeve on the outside of the cover (to protect the cover from any potential seam-splitting during transit) we will do so. Please be sure to make this make this request of unsealing your record for shipment if that is your packaging preference.

When packaging up non-factory sealed items (or factory sealed items that have been unsealed at the buyer's request) that have custom company or other manner of printed inner-sleeves, we remove the record from those printed inner sleeves (returning the printed inner sleeves back into the album cover) and place them inside brand new, generic white paper inner sleeves, which are then placed on the outside of the album cover to protect both the album cover AND the original printed inner sleeves from being subjected to any potential seam splitting during transit. We do this for all new AND used items that are in our stock.

All LPs, be they new or used, are sheathed inside of new, protective plastic outer sleeves (with the exceptions of space or weight limitations that may occur with packaging your items - such exceptions will take place when they allow for a lower cost of shipping charged for your total order.)

We go the extra mile to protect and preserve your items, folks!
