Originally founded in 1969 by former Crazy World of Arthur Brown organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer, Atomic Rooster recorded five albums between 1969 & 1973 and enjoyed two hit singles with the tracks “Tomorrow Night” and “Devilās Answer” in 1970 and 1971 respectively. The band lineup varied from album to album, but it was generally recognised that the āclassicā lineup of the band featured Vincent Crane joined by John Du Cann (guitar, vocals) and Paul Hammond (drums) that existed between 1970-1971.
Atomic Rooster finally disbanded in 1975, but in 1980 Vincent Crane and John Du Cann reformed the band to record a new album. The sessions featured Preston Heyman on drums and the album Atomic Rooster was released in September 1980. The album featured a muscular Rock style and was well received. To promote the album the band undertook a tour which featured drummer Paul Hammond back in the ranks. A memorable concert at Londonās Marquee Club on 19th November 1980 was recorded and eventually released in 2002.
This remastered edition of Atomic Rooster has been expanded to a two disc set to include the “Live at The Marquee 1980” album, but also features a further 11 bonus tracks drawn from studio-out takes, demos and a rare single B-side. The set also includes a booklet with a new essay.
