Bad Company - Run with the Pack (Full album 1976)

“Run with the Pack” is the third studio album by the English supergroup Bad Company. It was released in January 1976. “Run with The Pack” was recorded in France with The Rolling Stones Mobile Truck in September 1975 with engineer Ron Nevison and mixed in Los Angeles by Eddie Kramer. The album was the only original Bad Company album not to feature artwork from Hipgnosis as it featured artwork from Kosh instead.
The album peaked at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200. It has sold to date one million copies in the US alone.
Their cover of the Coasters single "Young Blood" peaked at No. 20. The album also spawned rock radio classics "Silver, Blue and Gold", "Live For the Music", and the title track. Although "Silver, Blue & Gold" remains one of the band's most popular compositions, the song was never released as a single.
The album was remastered and re-released in 1994. The vinyl album had a shiny, silver cover, but CD versions feature a simple, light grey cover. The original album cover also came as a gatefold, with a photo of the band inside, sitting around a couch near a television tuned in to a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Cover-ul facut de Coasters dupa “Young Blood” a atins locul 20. Albumul a asaltat posturile de radio de classic rock cu “Silver, Blue&Gold”, “Live for the Music” si piesa care da titlul. Desi “Silver, Blue&Gold” ramane una dintre compozitiile cele mai populare ale trupei, nu a fost niciodata lansata pe single.
Albumul a fost imbunatatit si re-relansat in 1994. Albumul de vinil a avut o coperta stralucitoare, argintie, dar versiunea de CD a avut una simpla, gri pal. Albumul original a fost scos cu coperta de tipul maneca indoita, cu o fotografie a trupei in interior, stand pe o canapea langa un televizor unde rula desenul animat cu Bugs Bunny.
