Bad Company (album)

Bad Company is the eponymous debut studio album by hard rock band Bad Company.

The album was recorded at Headley Grange with Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio in November 1973.

The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200. Since then the album has sold in excess of five million copies and has become the 46th best selling album of the 70s. The album spent 25 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, entering at #10 and reaching its highest position of #3 in the second week. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. 40 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".

The singles "Can't Get Enough" and "Movin' On" peaked at #5 and #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. "Rock Steady", "Bad Company" and "Ready for Love" (the last originally recorded by guitarist Mick Ralphs during his tenure with Mott the Hoople on All the Young Dudes) are also "classic rock" radio staples.

In 2006 a limited edition CD of 24K Gold was released. It had taken over a year to find the original master tapes, then the analog masters were put through proprietary A/D converter. A previous remaster was released in 1994.
