CHEAP TRICK In Color hails from 2011 and is
a U.S. 10-track LP on 180 gram vinyl
from Audio Fidelity, and comes housed SEALED and is numbered!
1977's,
In Color is Cheap Trick's second album release and the songs and music are as
impressive as the band's debut. Melodic, gritty, and just a rockin' good time,
the record is one of rock's best ever sets of lip-smacking, hip-shaking,
guitar-driven, harmony-coated super-songs.
The album contains the studio version of "I Want You To Want Me" that
would go on to become one of their biggest hits a few years later when it was
released on the "At Budakon" album, along with four other tracks from
this record ("Hello There," "Big Eyes," "Clock
Strikes Ten" and "Come On, Come On") and these original versions
have all the energy of that classic live set.
Producer
Tom Werman understood the band's pop dynamic and brought out the best in the
individual members - this is pop/rock written and performed by young adults and
it's as close to perfection as pop-metal/power-pop gets. Aside from the
craftsmanship, the album has genuine heart and a fun attitude. Cheap Trick is a
band that never took itself too seriously as famously illustrated on the
gatefold LP jacket with pretty-boys, singer Robin Zander and bassist Tom
Petersson, looking cool in full color astride motorcycles on the front cover
while the geek-squad, drummer Bun E. Carlos and guitarist Rick Nielsen, rest on
motor bikes, in black and white and upside-down, on the back.
