Foghat Remasters Slow Ridin' In from Edsel

March 26, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

British blues-rockers Foghat are bringing their classic catalogue back in a big way on Demon Music Group's Edsel label.

The British band, famous for the classic rock staple "Slow Ride," will see their '70s and '80s catalogue for Bearsville Records released as two-fer discs in U.K. shops starting today. The first five sets cover from 1972's self-titled debut to 1980's New Wave-inspired Tight Shoes, two LPs to a CD and with almost no bonus material (save for the Fool for the City / Night Shift reissue, which features the outtake "New Place to Call Home," from the Wounded Bird reissue of Night Shift).

But it's the final volume that's packed with rarities. The double disc three-fer features the band's final Bearsville albums, Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce (1981), In the Mood for Something Rude (1982) and Zig-Zag (1983), as well as 11 bonus tracks, including rare single edits, non-LP tracks and several newly-heard outtakes and alternate mixes.

Formed by ex-members of Savoy Brown, Foghat's slide guitar-based boogie rock stylings and relentless touring schedule earned them five gold records and a host of fans. While the band continued to exist throughout the '80s, they released no albums and saw a constant shift in band personnel. (The original quartet - singer/guitarist Dave Peverett, lead guitarist Rod Price, bassist Tony Stevens and drummer Roger Earl, reunited in 1993 at the suggestion of producer Rick Rubin; Peverett died in 2000 and Price passed away six years later. The band still tours with Earl on drums and Craig McGregor, the band's bassist from 1976 to 1982.)

All new Foghat reissues are available today; order them and check out the track lists after the jump.

    Nice to have reissues of the first half-dozen or so albums.

    Digressing slightly, does anyone else find it annoying that Foghat still tours regularly despite the fact that their two most important members are long dead? Bands like that are the modern-day equivalent of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, which was still slogging around the country two decades after their leader disappeared. They may put on a decent show, but somehow it still seems somewhat dishonest.

    Ron, I do.

    However, I really wish that the first three albums get the re-releases they deserve. While not my favorite, I did get the SACD of Fool For The City. What we want and need are superior reissues of Foghat, Rock and Roll, and Energized. Now THAT'S serious Foghat right there.

    Rock and Roll is MY favorite Foghat album, period.

      The 1st 3 LPs were their best, imo. The first 2 are my favorite. I do like Energized- I think Step Outside should be a heralded rock anthem- but that LP signaled a departure from the sound they laid down on the first two, and eventually led to stuff I have never heard to this day. I'd love to hear those alternate takes/mixes of What A Shame and Ride, Ride, Ride!

    I should clarify that I'm looking for Deluxe Editions of those first three albums. I'm betting there's some gold in the vaults from all three of those sessions. And a superior remaster would just be awesome. Also, I would NOT mind 180g LP reissues of them either.
