THE SKY IS BURNIN'

I BELIEVE MY 

SOUL'S ON FIRE 

NOTES :

Here Is 

A Combination

Of 

BAD COMPANY'S 

Forth

and 

Their

Sixth Album

With 

BURNIN' SKY'S

2017 Reissued

BONUS TRACKS

Burnin' Sky

 is the 

fourth

 studio album

 by the

 English rock band

 Bad Company 

It was released on

 March,3rd 1977

 Burnin' Sky

 was recorded in

 France at

 Château d'Hérouville

 in July and August 1976 

with future 

Rolling Stones

 engineer 

Chris Kimsey.

 Its release was

 delayed until

 March 1977

 so to not compete

 with the band's

 then-current album

 Run with the Pack.

The album peaked at

 No. 15 

on the Billboard 200

 and No. 17

 in the 

UK Albums Chart.  

The cover is similar

 to the poster

 for the 1969 

Sam Peckinpah film 

The Wild Bunch.

 In the 2000 movie 

Almost Famous,

 the fictitious band

 Stillwater's 

first T-shirt 

is strikingly

 similar to

 the Burnin' Sky 

album cover.


Rough Diamonds

 is the sixth 

studio album

 by the English

 rock band

 Bad Company 

The album was 

released in 

August 1982. 

Rough Diamonds,

 like its predecessor, 

Desolation Angels

was recorded at 

Ridge Farm Studio

 in Surrey, England,

 in March and April 1981 

and engineered by 

Max Norman

 famed for

 his work with 

Ozzy Osbourne

It was the last album

 by Bad Company's 

original line-up

 and the last 

studio album

 to feature 

Paul Rodgers. 

The sessions were 

rough going

 from the beginning. 

First, their manager,

 Peter Grant, 

withdrew from view 

after the death of

 Led Zeppelin drummer 

John Bonham

 in 1980.

 Then, 

on another occasion, 

a fistfight broke out 

between 

Paul Rodgers

 and 

Boz Burrell, 

the two bandmates

 restrained by

 Mick Ralphs 

and 

Simon Kirke.

 Following the album,

 they disbanded,

 with Rodgers

 going on to release

 his first solo album, 

Cut Loose

the following year.

The album's opening track, 

"Electricland",

 written by Rodgers, 

was the album's

 biggest hit. 

Rodgers'

 "Painted Face" 

also received

 substantial airplay 

on rock stations.

 The album became

 the original

 line-up's 

worst-selling album, 

reaching a

 disappointing No. 26 

on the 

Billboard album

 charts in 1982.
