THE
8 MONTH DEAL
That
is right. That is all the time we have to sell Bad Company’s historic
album, “Bad Company” on the 24K+ format.
We have until September of this year and then no more Bad Company
on 24K+. Due to contractual
restrictions, we only have the 8 months to sell this album.
We originally contracted for the album almost 2 years ago but it
has taken us over a year to find the original master tapes.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most anticipated albums on this
format in a long time. Since
we made the announcement Audio Fidelity was releasing Bad Company in the
24K+ format our phones have been ringing and the e-mails have constant
from people who want to know when this album is going to be available.
Call me CRAZY for making this deal but the demand and the interest
has convinced me the short period of time that we have to sell this album
will only make the album a must have for consumers.
All the hits are here “Can’t Get Enough”, “Rock Steady”,
“Ready For Love”, “Bad Company” and more.
This is the album that broke Bad Company and made Paul Rodgers an
international superstar.
8
MONTHS is all we have so do not miss out!
Beau writes.........
I was born in the ATL and I still live here dammit. I was on my daddy's
shoulders when we marched for civil rights and no more Viet Nam War and damn
I am old. My mom worked for Coretta and Martin Luther King Jr., my dad
worked for SCLC, I've met Stevie Ray Vaughan and told him he is a God. I've
done lots of stuff in my life, but it's all been accidental or coincidental.
There are very few things in my life that I set out to do, and then
actually fully accomplished... my kids, my wife, and this damn music. When I
was 7 I knew I was going to rock. I loved the Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder
and the Rolling Stones and then when I went all teen and shit, I knew even
more that, no matter what I did with my life, it would include me, on a
stage, with a guitar in my hand.
I'm not saying that, at 15, I knew I'd be playing this kind of music. At
the time, I think, my goal was to rock "My Sharona" for two hours
straight. What the hell did I know? I digress.
My point here is that, no matter whatever happens to me, I'm here. I did
my thing. I could stop playing tomorrow and I wouldn't complain too much
because of the blast I've had with my life. Why am I suddenly writing this
like I've got cancer? I don't have cancer. I think I'm just at this odd
crossroads in my life right now.
I love this music. Love it. That's all I'm saying.
UNH! is the first
solo CD by Beau Hall. Recorded at Exocet Studios in Atlanta, produced by
Beau and Matthew Knights.

What
I Need
To buy
the album please follow the link below :
Dean Howard picked up a guitar for the first time when he was a boy aged
eleven. He was hooked! Not to put too fine a point on it & in the words
of the song by Foreigner "he didn't know how to play it but he knew for
sure"
Deans first real foray into the world of music & band life was with
BLACK ALICE AN Australian heavy metal band from perth,this was short lived
& was also an introduction to the joys of air travel. "not
something I enjoyed I have to admit" Says Dean now.
This was followed by some session work for ' Right Said Fred' (this was
before they became known by that name).Then in 1987 he got a break when he
joined T'Pau.
Now, T'pau burst onto the music scene in 1987 with the hits 'Heart &
Soul' & 'China in your hand' in the UK & US charts, both songs being
lifted from their debut album 'Bridge Of Spies,' Dean, although not a member
of the band on the release of the album, was quickly recruited as full time
guitarist! Mainly because Carol Decker recognized the need for a harder edge
to their sound in the live arena.
When T'Pau disbanded, Dean's reputation had grown & had also transcended
genres so when none other than Ian Gillan of DEEP PURPLE gave him a call,
saying he was looking to put a touring band together & record some demos
& would Dean be interested the answer was of course, yes! The resulting
band was christened REPO DEPO & some demos were indeed committed to
tape. These songs are yet to see the light of day it has to be said but with
'GILLAN'S INN' due to hit the racks in 2006 who knows!
Dean worked with Ian Gillan for the best part of a year forging a friendship
that endures to this day. When Ian returned to Deep Purple it was time to
branch out alone & with a band that Dean felt had the makings of
becoming "what I really wanted" so in 1995 Dean formed the band
'The Herbs' with bassist extraordinaire Russell Kennedy. This band recorded
one album and undertook three European tours. Sadly nothing else was to come
of this.
In 1996 with a growing reputation he again had a call from a stellar name,
BAD COMPANY !! It seemed that they were a man down for the American leg of
their tour & would Dean like to help them out for a 13 week stint? The
answer was again a resounding yes!
So it was off, for, in Deans words " A blast" But when Simon Kirke
decided to take some time off, Dean took this as a perfect opportunity to
spend more time with his family, however the break turned out to be longer
than anyone imagined it would be!
EIGHT YEARS to be precise!
2004 saw the welcome return OF DEAN Howard & the inception of The Dean
Howard Band.
An acclaimed debut album was recorded which features guest vocalists of some
repute, namely IAN GILLAN,TOBY JEPSON & DANNY BOWES OF THUNDER! The
album was promptly awarded seven out of ten by CLASSIC ROCK magazine also
the opening slot on the DEEP PURPLE,PETER FRAMPTON & THUNDER TOUR was
offered & duly accepted.
A busy period indeed for the new band.
the future looks bright for Dean Howard again, he is set to guest on Ian
Gillan's forthcoming album', which is in celebration of the great mans
career on the road & includes some of the great artists he has worked
with in that time, Dean is included in such dignified company on merit.

Two Amazing cds
http://www.riseband.co.uk/
4/5
Multi-instrumentalist, Gerry
Geoghegan is the band's guitarist and has an amazing CV, which
spans Rock, Folk and most contemporary forms of music to be found in
Scotland today. His playing is magical, full of feeling as well as being
powerful and steeped in his ever-changing eclectic taste.
Elaine McCombe's bass playing, which
is driving and full of subtlety, complements this. Elaine originally played
with the Glasgow-based, all-girl Folk group Tullibardine. She also plays
guitar when RISE performs live, as well as providing lovely vocal harmonies.
Kris Manvell has been in the engine
room of many Rock and Punk bands on the London circuit. Kris plays drums and
percussion on the album as well as some keyboard noodling.
The band's sound is given cohesion and meaning by the stunning vocals of Debbie
Dawson. Debbie brings genuine feeling to the songs and her
performance is passionate and beautiful. The band is the perfect vehicle for
her voice.

Uncertain Wonders
This is a stunning debut from the eclectic Scotland-based band,
and it`s getting a lot of well-deserved air play around the
globe. Original, inventive, very musical, and highly evocative,
this is a band that is going places

TWO NEW VIDEOS FROM THE DUKE
THE DUKE IN THE UK
New
young band
Together
since the start of 2005 we've established ourselves on the Cambridge pub
circuit and have built up a good solid following. We've done this not by
pimping ourselves out to every promoter/venue in the city (we've only just
recently got a demo recorded), but by starting with a couple of open mic/new
band nights and letting our reputation grow through word of mouth.
Our
biggest influence is without doubt the British rock band Free, but we've
also taken inspiration from bands including Reef and The Meters. We play
our own tunes, in a style we like to call groove rock - a blend of classic
rock and blues with a shot of funk.

RELEASE:
USA
3000 JETS EMBLAZONED
WITH RON WOOD’S COVER ART
OF THE JONES GANG’S DEBUT ANY DAY NOW AMONG
THE FIRST TO EVACUATE AMERICAN VICTIMS
OF HURRICANE WILMA FROM CANCUN
* * *
The Jones
Gang’s Label, AAO/Reality, Is A Marketing
Partner
With
The East Coast Based Airline, Whose Prompt Action
Inspires
Major American Carriers To Follow Suit
The three members of The
Jones Gang, the pop/rock supergroup whose hit single “Angel”
is currently in the upper reaches of several major music charts, may be a
Pond away in Great Britain, but jets bearing their likeness on the
fuselage and the tail were among the first to evacuate Americans from the
hurricane stricken Mexican resort city of Cancun.
The
band’s record label, AAO Music/Reality, is partner in a joint marketing
venture with
USA
3000, the East Coast based airlines who
put 13 flights into
Cancun
yesterday to evacuate 1,830 tourists who
were on holiday there when Hurricane Wilma struck, devastating the popular
Caribbean
vacation destination. Evacuees were
flown to various cities around the country. In the wake of
USA
3000’s efforts, several major American
carriers quickly followed suit. American Airlines has sent five flights in
today, October 26.
“We
are proud to be involved with this wonderful airline which is making such
an important difference in this time of great distress,” says Kenney
Jones, the band’s founder, a legend in British rock circles by
virtue of his longtime associations with The Small Faces, The Faces and
The Who. “Even though we are far away, our thoughts and prayers go out
to the victims of this terrible tragedy. We’re pleased that planes with
our image are being employed in such a crucial humanitarian effort. The
Jones Gang is very much with them in spirit.”
To
help promote The Jones Gang’s debut recording Any Day Now,
AAO Music partnered with the Philly-based
USA
3000 Airlines to emblazon the band’s
album cover on all of its 14 aircraft. The group’s logo and album title
appear on the tail, while the drawing of the band by legendary guitarist
(and guest on the project) Ron Woods appears on the fuselage. The
label is also partnered for the marketing push with Trans World
Entertainment, the largest music retailer in the
U.S.
“Angel”
is the first single released The Jones Gang, whose members also include
Rick Wills (Foreigner, Peter Frampton’s Camel) and singer Robert Hart
(Bad Company). The song is
currently enjoying major chart success, perched at #1 on ACQB, #38
on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Radio chart
and
#2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart.

THE
JONES GANG EARLY REVIEWS:07/05
The
Jones Gang album may be one of the most complete Pop/Rock albums I've heard
in quite a while. It just proves that great artists are still making great
music
Mark
LaSpina - FMQB
The
Jones Gang,
with their debut album Any Day Now,
prove that rock isn't dead. Drummer Kenney
Jones, singer-guitarist Robert
Hart, and bassist Rick Wills
have made the kind of record you don't hear too much anymore -- one with
great songs, great playing, and great execution, and without the kind of
modern studio trickery that passes for craft.
With
their respective pedigrees -- Jones with The
Small Faces, The Faces,
The Who, and The
Law; Hart as Paul Rodgers's
replacement in Bad Company;
and Wills with Frampton's Camel,
Foreigner, and latter-day Bad
Company and Small Faces lineups -- you'd expect a certain amount of
professionalism, since they've written and recorded some of the best-known
tracks in rock history. However, the combination of these men, along with
special guests including Bad Company lead guitarist Dave
"Bucket" Colwell
and Jones's mates from The Faces, guitarist Ron
Wood and keyboardist Ian
McLagan, is much more than the sum of its parts. They have
managed to make music that is both familiar and current. And they do this
without any misguided attempt at forcing modern sounds or production
elements into the mix.
Simply
put, Any Day Now is a great
album. And if The Jones Gang is this good out of the blocks, I can hardly
wait to see what comes next.
