Their output from 1974-79 was unrivaled by few bands of that period. Their debut Bad Co was one of the most successful by any rock band in history. With classic raw stripped down rockers like the top 5 single 'Can't Get Enough', 'Bad Company,' 'Movin' On,' 'Rock Steady,' and the burning emotional ride of 'Ready For Love,' they became international superstars in a matter of months. They would have many more albums that were successful but their first is very special to many fans, and nobody knows that better than Audio Fidelity. Audio Fidelity, as they always do, searched for the original two-track master tape of the album to release a phenomenal 24K+ release that everyone familiar with the album would love.
