George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers is a remix of American blues rock band George Thorogood and the Destroyers' self-titled debut studio album. The remix was released on April 18, 2015 as a blue-colored vinyl[1], and on June 16 on CD and as a digital download.[2] This album is the original "first take" of their debut album, recorded and mixed in 1976 featuring the original three-piece band, Thorogood, Jeff Simon and Ron Smith.[1][3]
Background
[edit]The Destroyers originally recorded their debut album in 1976, at that time it was only Thorogood (guitar), Smith (second guitar) and Simon (drums). Ken Irwin wanted to release the original recordings, so a new mix was created by Paul Q. Kolderie, remixed from the original 24-track tapes.[3] The new mix does not feature the bass overdubs by Bill Blough, instead with Ron Smith's second guitar replacing the bass.[1][3]
Release and content
[edit]Rounder Records released George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers on April 18 (vinyl), and June 16, 2015 (CD and digital download).[1][2]
The album features the original raw recordings of the songs from the Destroyers' debut album, along with an unreleased bonus track, "Goodbye Baby", written by Elmore James.[4] Vinyl versions of the album omit the tracks "Kind Hearted Woman" and "John Hardy".[1][3]
