Classic Atomic Rooster’s ‘Death Walks Behind You’ and Extreme’s ‘Pornograffitti’ reissued by Music on Vinyl

Riding on the success of More Than Words, and Hole Hearted Extreme II – Pornograffitti became the breakthrough-album for the Bostonian rockers Extreme.

Combining Glam with Pop, the band carved out a nice niche for themselves and peaked no 2 on the Billboard 200, being the most sold record of the band. Carried by the silky Funk Metal riffs of guitar god Nuno Bettencourt and vocal gymnastics of Gary Cherone, Extreme took the world by storm following their second album in 1990.

This exclusive limited edition of the album will be pressed on orange vinyl and includes numbered sleeves.

REGINA CARTER

Violinist Regina Carter celebrates the 100th birthday of Ella Fitzgerald. On her new album, Ella: Accentuate the Positive, the virtuoso violinist reveals the many aspects of Fitzgerald that have influenced her own remarkable path in music.

ATOMIC ROOSTER

Death Walks Behind You is the second studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It is commonly thought of as the archetypal Atomic Rooster album, recorded by the ‘classic’ line-up of Vincent Crane, John Du Cann and Paul Hammond.

It is, critically and commercially, their most successful album and often hailed as a classic of the progressive rock genre. It also produced the hit single “Tomorrow Night” (UK #11), which became one of the band’s best-known songs. The album’s cover features the William Blake monotype Nebuchadnezzar.

The title track was covered on record in 1992 by Paradise Lost, in 2000 by Bigelf (on their album Money Machine) and in 2012 by Swedish death metal band NonExist.

A repackaging and remastering job restores the original artwork in all its gatefold glory.
