1,244 views

BAD ENGLISH self-titled debut album has been remastered by Rock Candy some years ago, but now has appeared this version as part of he Universal Music Japan series ‘HR/HM 1000‘ (Hard Rock / Heavy Metal at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9 USD) – a more than welcomed campaign reissuing long time out of print albums from the label’s catalog.
The remastered sound here is less ‘bright’ than the RC release, so if you like a more mid-range EQ akin the vinyl LP spectrum, this Japanese edition is for you.

“Bad English” is so terrific simply because all these songs have killer hooks, memorable choruses, superb playing and stellar production.A classic AOR / Melodic Rock masterpiece.
