Alex Harvey Band - Framed / Next (2 CD`s)

UK only, 2 CD set, remastered with 12 page booklet w/ liner notes of two of Alex Harvey Band`s most classic albums. If you have never heard such trax like "Faith Healer"or "Midnight Moses", listen to the soundbites right below. Now. If you don`t like this, run away. But it don`t get any better than this for blunderous, big UK-styled hard rock with a theatrical edge. On Framed: `4 stars.. With a heady mix of theatrics and driving rock, SAHB quickly made a name for themselves across England, releasing this album along the way. Harvey struts and yowls and gets raunchy (prefiguring the SAHB version of "Delilah") while Zal Cleminson rips up the territory with some astounding guitar work. A great debut and a hell of a rock album."-AMG. On Next: "4 stars.. The result is an album that has all the muscle of a good hard-rock recording but tempers its bombast with a sense of big-production depth and clarity that brings outs the band`s tight musicianship. Next also produced the Sensational Alex Harvey Band`s first hit single with "Faith Healer," the creepy tale of a religious con artist that blends an intense vocal from Harvey with a thunderous, guitar-driven wall of sound production.. To sum up, Next is one of the true high points of the English glam-rock boom and required listening for anyone with an interest in Alex Harvey`s music."-AMG.
