Instead of copying the finely crafted riffs of "Radioactive," The Firm's second and final album wallowed in the banal arena rock that only occasionally appeared on the debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Firm: Paul Rodgers (vocals, guitar); Jimmy Page (guitar, keyboards); Tony Franklin (bass); Chris Slade (drums).

Producers: Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, Julian Mendelsohn.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

The Firm consists mainly of Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. There are overtones of both Led Zeppelin and Bad Company but not overpowering so the band stands on it's own without being a clone of either of the major player's original bands. This is the second album and is just as 5 star as their first release. Both are definitely worthy of a place in any true rock fan's music collection.

3 stars No more times for old zep sound.
The Line up is challenging and tasteful. One of the best rock guitar of the seventies and one of more fine vocalst of the british blues-rock. The pieces are not bad and there's also something fine tune as"Cadillac" and "free to live" but tis is deafinitely not the best from Mr.Page & Mr. Rodgers.

Certainly produces a true reflection of the styles of both Rodgers and Page. Recording set up to ensure the listener gets the feeling of a live sound. Take this album for what it is and you'll appreciate the fact that it is a very good Rock album. Compare it to Led Zep or Bad Company and you'll not appreciate it. Released by any other band, the album would have been a huge success. However due to the comparisons of PAGE and Rodgers past works, the criticism sunk it like a stone. In short...buy the CD it's worth the price of admission.

THE ORIGINAL BAD CO. ANTHOLOGY includes several previously unreleased tracks including four tracks recorded in 1998. Recorded between November 1973 and November 1998. Includes liner notes by John McDermott. Digitally remastered by Steve Croxford, Jack "Jacko" Adams, and Walter Coehlo 1974's BAD COMPANY laid the groundwork for much of the mainstream hard rock that would dominate FM radio and album sales in the 1970s and '80s. In contrast to the expansive canvases of psychedelic music and the virtuoso excesses of prog rock, Bad Company's debut stripped the blues-rock model down to its essentials, playing muscular, amped-up power chords over driving ...

Anticipation was quite high when it was announced in 1984 that Paul Rodgers, the past voice of Bad Company, and Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin's former guitarist, were creating a "supergroup" called the Firm. Page and Rodgers had first tinkered with the idea of an album after their successful collaboration on the ARMS benefit tour for Ronnie Lane in 1983. Based upon the fact that it had been over five years since Page's last band effort, and two years since Rodger's lackluster finale with the original Bad Company, pundits were more than eager to hear what new material the duo would unleash. However, when the band's self-titled debut was actually released in 1985, it received a critical drubbing and was all but ignored by the record-buying public. That's too bad, for the album is quite good and does nothing to taint ...

CD $9.69  4.5 stars Top 500
The second LP from Gamma, an unlikely hard rock group on Elektra Records, features future Robin Trower vocalist Davey Pattison doing his best to sound like Bad Company during Paul Rodgers' "Rock & Roll Fantasy" period. With Jim Alcivar on synthesizer and Denny Carmassi on drums, you have a goodly portion of the band Montrose, since the guitarist/producer is the guiding hand behind this project. "Skin and Bone" might as well be Bad Company, while the cover of Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" misses the mark slightly. The revolutionary theme of that great tune from the film The Strawberry Statement gets lost in the translation and doesn't have Pete Townshend's clever production. Though the attempt is interesting enough, memories of the original are so strong that this version is ...

When the Virgin label first started reissuing material from its long-discontinued Front Line reggae imprint in the early '90s, it was a mixed blessing for roots reggae lovers. On the one hand, the reissue campaign made truly classic material available again for the first time in over a decade. On the other hand, each reissue tended to be a compilation of tracks taken from several albums, all of which deserved their own individual reissues (the label would move in that direction the following decade, releasing a number of those albums individually and with original cover art). This Gladiators compilation is a case in point, offering a ...
