DETECTIVE Detective (2010 issue UK 9-track digitally remastered CD
album - The seventies, they say, was a time when rock 'n roll giants
roamed the earth and, of course, none were more powerful than
standard bearers Led Zeppelin. Casting their extensive and menacing
shadow over the musical landscape, Zep had it all, including their very
own boutique record company, Swan Song. More than just a vehicle
for their own recorded output, Zep signed a number of fellow artists to
the label and Detective were, aside from Bad Company, the cream of
the crop. Led by British born front man Michael Des Barres (fresh from
glam rock upstarts Silverhead) and featuring ex-Yes keyboardist Tony
Kaye and Steppenwolf guitarist Michael Monarch, the band were
championed and signed by Jimmy Page, who intended to produce the
record. As it turned out Jimmy's lifestyle, together with scheduling
issues, focussed his attentions on other matters, resulting in an album
recorded twice and costing in the region of a million dollars. "We took
two months to get a drum sound that we liked," reveals Des Barres
about that self-indulgent period. But such was the power of the
performance rumours quickly circulated that John Bonham himself had
played on the album. It was also suggested that Page had produced
the record but under the unlikely pseudonym of Jimmy Robinson. It
was easy to see why; the album, originally released in 1977, is a 24
karat hard rock master-class in the power and passion of explosive
hard rock, featuring mountainous riffs and one of the great vocal
performances of all time. Simply put, it doesn't get much better than
this!).
