Reissue specialists Bad Reputation Records are releasing for the first time on CD the 2 very early DUKE JUPITER LP’s, Sweet Cheeks ’78 + Taste The Night ’79, into a 2-disc pack featuring both albums remastered.
In the early years Duke Jupiter played original Rock /R&B instrumentals, which featured their signature dual lead-guitar sound when Don Maracle joined in the band in 1974. The band was playing clubs in the Upstate NY area and gradually expanded their territory.
With the release of ”Sweet Cheeks”, their first album (1978) on Mercury Records, Duke started touring with national acts ranging from ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Bowie, Robert Palmer, BB King, to Toto, Huey Lewis and the News, Reo Speedwagon, Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, and countless others.
”Sweet Cheeks” is Duke Jupiter’s 1st album (1978), produced by Chuck Leavell, formerly with The Allman Brothers, who, at that time, had a band called Sea Level. Chuck really hit the big-time when he became the keyboard player for the Rolling Stones, as well as pianist on many projects including Eric Clapton’s Unplugged CD. Duke’s 1st album has a Southern influence mixed into their classy rock sound. Maybe because it was recorded at Capricorn Studios in Macon, GA, had some of the Allman Bros. Band members on it.
The next year, “Taste The Night”, Duke Jupiter’s 2nd album (1979) with Mercury Records, was recorded in NYC and produced by Glen Kolotkin. Glen’s engineering discography is a who’s who of the 60s and 70s era including artists such as Journey, Santana, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and more.
