Funky Hardrock! BULLFROG'S third album from 1980 for the first time on CD.

Bullfrog always were fancy to hop over the big blue pond. They remain consequent which was proven by success: German TV executives listened attentively with the result that the musicians found themselves on the stage of the Dortmunder Westfalenhalle - Live recording as one of the first German bands for WDR-ROCKPALAST which still is a fix tv-part and a hallmark with cult status. Also international the first signs of acceptance: »The wildest Cats of Germany« was written in an article of the legendary army-mag „Stars and Stripes', after the band obviously delivered a convincing concert in a German-American club. Also the US-station AFN sent a huge interview with introducing their vinyl. Tom Conners, manager of the (at that time) successful band MITCH RYDER named BULLFROG as one of the less German bands which might have a breakthrough in the USA. Upon the good connections to the US music scene Bullfrog got a second singer from Chicago. Timothy „Tim' Gainer with his multifaceted and clear singing a real counterpoint to the raspy voice of the leader Gerd Hoch. Singing together they are not available on any vinyl but, after about three decades, for the first time on this cd.

Some comments on the bonus tracks: These are previously unreleased recordings from the rehearsal room of the band.
Why unreleased ? The forth album should finally help to a breakthrough in the USA. Also moving to the States was in preparation. Still being in Germany ideas have been collected on a recorder which should later on be worked out and recorded in an American studio. To make a long story short: Bullfrog moved to the US-state Illinois, but due to various problems the band split. Thus also the prepared demos disappeared for about two-and-a-half decades. Only 2007 parts of them appeared in Chicago and are now available as Bonus Tracks on this cd. Please keep in mind all these titles have been recorded in the rehearsal room of the band and only should be a memory hook.
