| "GENERAL CONSENSUS
WOULD have us believe that the epicentre of mid to late
eighties rock 'n roll happened to be the sunshine state
of California; Los Angeles in particular. With the likes
of Mötley Cröe, Quiet Riot and Guns 'N Roses breaking
all the house rules and assaulting the charts in spectacular
fashion it would be easy forget that other great rock 'n
roll outpost, the sleaze capitol of the East Coast, New
York City. Whilst Los Angeles rockers cultivated spandex,
glam and big - make that HUGE - hair, New York fostered
a far grittier aesthetic; one that would promote the hard
working, hard living ethos of an inner city blighted by
low rent housing, unemployment and forgotten neighbourhoods.
The perfect backdrop, in fact, for the low-down high volume
rock 'n roll of no-frills minimalists such as the Ramones,
Raging Slab, Smashed Gladys, Blitzspeer and… Circus
Of Power. COP, as they were commonly known amongst friends
and fans, lived life on the edge; a trail blazing super
nova of sight and sound, whipping up a storm around a town
that liked to party hard 'till the small hours. Spotted
by esteemed NYC-based producer Daniel Rey, they were snapped
up, together with Raging Slab, by the giant RCA label, creating
one of the greatest debut hard rock albums of the dera.
Raw, edgy and extremely dangerous, Circus Of Power's debut
album, originally released in 1989, is a seething guitar-fuelled
temper tantrum that remains as powerful today as it was
when first released.. This is the Special Limited Collector's
Edition which has been remastered with sound shaped from
24 but digital via POW-r technology. There are four bonus
tracks and a 16 page full colour booklet with original and
enhanced artwork with memorabilia and full band involvement and a 4,000 Word essay written by Malcolm Dome. |
