Bad Company Fame and Fortune (Japanese Pressing) (1986)
Originally Released October 1986\nReissued on Wounded Bird Records July 12, 2005\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: N/A\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nFame and Fortune, January 17, 2005\nReviewer: baddchadd "chad" (sterling heights , mi)\nThe First album with Brian Howe replacing Paul Rodgers the music fits in with the 80s sound lots of keyboards few guitar rockers but old fans will like the title track this album gets alot of mixed views one being the horrible cover (what were they thinking???) but if you love the Holy Water era Bad Company give this a listen \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe 70s band comes back as Bad Company Lite in the 80s, March 7, 2003\nReviewer: Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City: Duluth, MN United States) \nIn 1986, four years after the sixth and final Bad Company album of the Paul Rodgers era, drummer Simon Kirke and guitarist Mick Ralphs resurrected the name with a new band featuring vocalist Brian Howe (formerly with Ted Nugent) to replace Rodgers. Unlike the original Bad Company, which produced one of the great debut albums of the Seventies and then a series of lesser works, this version of the group started off with their worst album and then became halfway decent (although obviously never as good as the original). "Fame and Fortune" is just a lame effort at arena rock: "Burning Love" just sounds like Bad Company lite to me and "This Love" sounds like Jefferson Starship lite; it is not just the difference between the vocals of Howe and Rodgers, this is a bad move in a different direction musically. If you are a fan of Mick Ralphs, just skip this album and move on to the group's next effort, "Dangerous Age," which is helped by Ralphs writing most of the songs with Terry Thomas. That is where the new Bad Company gets on track.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nBad Co.'s weakest album, July 17, 2000\nReviewer: Burritoman "burritoman" \nHardly a disaster, but easily the weakest entry in the band's catalog, "Fame And Fortune" was a confused and convoluted comeback. There is nothing wrong with the new vocalist; he is fine. The performances by all concerned are good, when they can be made out underneith all of the sappy '80's synth-gloss. A few good songs do emerge and overall this is a decent, if somewhat forgettable and definitely unremarkable album. Not the place to start with Bad Company; for diehards and completists only.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nBad Company does pop..., February 9, 2000\nReviewer: FLORIN O. MATYAS (SASKATOON, SK Canada) \nBoth critics and fans tend sometimes to regard bands in extremely rigid categories.However,there is some decent pop-rock on this album,very much tied to an era marked by an extensive employment of keyboards.'Burning Up'shows that the fire is there and gives hints of the things to come,i.e.,their next excellent album.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nINFAMOUS AND MISFORTUNE, February 6, 2000\nReviewer: D. R Toner "cd-heaven" (Poontang Heaven)\nAfter Bad Cmpany parted ways by 1983, 3 outta 4 members decided to give it another go around in 1986. Unfortunately, it's the 3 outta 4 that don't really matter. Mick Ralphs regrouped without supervoice Paul Rodgers, and to call itself Bad Comapny on this is just sad. Bringing aboard annoying yelper Brian Howe, formerly of Ted Nugent, Howe didn't bring back any old Nugent fans on Ted's Penatrator, and he's not going to make any old Bad Company fans return for Fame and Fortune. A nice attempt to cash in on the band's name, but this proves nothing, of their former selves.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nA cool return to the Bad Company band., August 3, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nAfter Paul departed in '82, badco disbanded. Reuniting in 1986, with vocalist Brian Howe was a smart thing to do. Lashed at by Badco fans and critics, "Fame & Fortune" is a fine addition to the Badco catalogue. With Howe sounding like Lou Gramm or a 80's version of Paul Rodgers, songs like "This Love" and "If I'm Sleeping" are cool tunes meshed with light guitars and heavy keyboards (hey, it's the 80's!)\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Keith Olsen \n\nAlbum Notes\nBad Company: Brian Howe (vocals); Mick Ralphs (guitar); Boz Burrell (bass); Simon Kirke (drums).\n\nAfter an extended break from the rock world, Bad Company reconvened in 1985 with FAME AND FORTUNE, but original singer Paul Rodgers failed to make the trip. His replacement, Brian Howe, was briefly the vocalist for Ted Nugent's band, and proved to have a flair for melodicism on Bad Co.'s seventh release overall. The veteran band couldn't resist sprinkling some then-current rock sounds throughout the album (namely keyboards), but songs such as "This Love," "If I'm Sleeping," and "Long Walk" prove to be just as enjoyable as anything else on rock radio circa the mid-1980s.
