Bad Company released their self-titled debut album in June 1974. It was the first release on Led Zeppelin's new Swan Song label. It was a No. 1 record in the U.S. and a worldwide hit thanks to singles "Can't Get Enough," "Movin' On," and "Bad Company." It was recorded at Headley Grange in Hampshire, England using Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio.
This copy of (SS 8410) is from the First Pressing and is in excellent condition. The gatefold cover still has its gloss and is easily VG+. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is also VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. The lacquer was cut at The Mastering Lab in Los Angeles and this copy was pressed by Fidelatone Manufacturing Co. in Hawthorne, Calif. The Side One dead wax is etched ST-SS 743137 F PR FI.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 47 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
