TRIGGER Trigger (2009 issue UK Collectors Edition 11-track digitally remastered CD album [first time on CD] - Originally released in 1978, Trigger's lone major label album is regarded by many as one of the greatest hard rock records to have been recorded during the 1970's. That it didn't sell a bean is no refection of its creative power or its unyielding ability to impress. Melodic, yet rough hewn, the Trigger sound relied on killer hooks, razor sharp guitar playing, pummelling rhythmwork and songs that told road-weary stories of hard livin', dangerous deeds and late nights. It was a party-hard sound tailor made for the era and one that out-performed fledgling rivals by a considerable margin. Sadly, despite delivering a near masterpiece of triumphant shout-it-out-loud rock, Trigger's fortunes were dashed by the economic cruelties of a label that was fast running out of both track and cash. Sinking with the ship, Trigger's time may have been short lived but their legacy continues to exert considerable influence. And, like all the great loud and proud records, it is a sound that, come rain or shine, sounds as fresh today as it did on the day of release. Comes complete with a 24-page picture booklet containing enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and 4,000 word essay by Dave Reynolds).
