More Info:

Five CD collection detailing this influential Scottish band's work from 1976 until 1979. Featuring 27 bonus tracks, including single versions and outtakes. Includes the original, alternative version of the 'Expect No Mercy' album. Scotland's premier hard rockers Nazareth originally formed in Dunfermline in the late 1960s, releasing their debut record in 1971. Featuring Dan McCafferty on lead vocals, Manny Charlton on lead guitar, Pete Agnew on bass guitar and Darrell Sweet on drums, 'Close Enough For Rock 'n' Roll' (CD1) was Nazareth's seventh studio album, released in March 1976. Recorded at Le Studio in Montreal, Canada, the album followed the international success of the 'Hair Of The Dog' album with a more experimental and polished sound compared to their earlier, grittier sound. The opening track 'Telegram' is a four-part rock opera detailing the exhausting but exciting life of a touring band in the 1970s, and served as the band's concert opener. Produced by the band's guitarist, Manny Charlton, 'Play 'n' The Game' (CD2) was their eighth studio album, released in November 1976. Continuing the band's exploration of arena rock and AOR styles, the album is often noted for a more experimental sound compared to their earlier, heavier music, incorporating elements of Southern rock and psychedelia. Often touching on themes of revenge, violence and rebellion, Nazareth released their ninth album 'Expect No Mercy' (CD3) in 1977, returning to a heavier, more aggressive sound, featuring gritty guitar riffs and the trademark, gravelly vocals of Dan McCafferty. Also included here is the original, alternative version of the album (CD4). 'Expect No Mercy' is also notable for it's iconic album cover by famed fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta. 'No Mean City', the fifth CD in this collection, was Nazareth's tenth studio record, released in January 1979. Marking a heavier, twin-guitar sound with the addition of SAHB's Zal Cleminson on second guitar, 'No Mean City' was housed in another classic album cover, designed by Rodney Matthews (Thin Lizzy, Diamond Head), and features the single 'May The Sunshine'.
