Synopsis
Product Description Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1975 classic from the Scottish rockers. For album number six, Nazareth singer Dan McCafferty, bass player Pete Agnew, guitarist Manny Charlton and drummer Darrell Sweet wrote heavier material than ever before, both in response to the prevailing spirit on the scene at the time and because that was their natural frame of mind. This reissue expands upon one of the very finest, most influential Rock records of the era, highlighting just how hot Nazareth were around the time of its conception and release. Features nine bonus cuts including 'Love Hurts', the two 1975 UK hits, 'My White Bicycle' and 'Holy Roller', and five crunching numbers from a concert at London's Paris Theatre in the same month that Hair Of The Dog hit the streets. Salvo. 2010. Similar CDs |
CD ReviewsVintage Naz Done Right G. Smith | St. Louis, MO | 03/07/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "These new Slavo remasters of the Nazareth catalogue are superb: they feature fantastic sound, excellent liner notes, killer bonus tracks, and historical accuracy. So far, Salvo has remastered and rereleased everything from the first Naz album through "Hair of the Dog," and these are all well worth picking up. As for "Hair of the Dog" itself, the Salvo version preserves the track listing of the initial UK release, which has a great cover of Randy Newman's "Guilty" in place of the now mega-famous cover of B. Bryant's "Love Hurts," which the record company added to the US release at the last minute in the interest of trying to land a smash hit . . . which they did, of course. For my money, the originally intended cover of "Guilty" (included here in its proper spot as the third track) makes the album much more interesting and dark, but for those who side with the record company, don't worry: "Love Hurts" is included as a bonus track, along with lots of other fine material. No serious and self-respecting fan of hard rock should spend any amount of time on planet Earth without owning "Hair of the Dog," and this is the edition to buy."
