STEVIE WRIGHT

"Hard Road"

Atco       SD 36-109

1974

Easybeats' lead singer's first solo release. This US promo copy with a "suggested cuts" sticker is hard to find now days.  The album's first single "Evie (Part 1)" was hugely successful and the title track was later covered on Rod Stewart's 1974 album Smiler. The album itself reach #2 on the Australian albums charts in 1974 was the 16th highest selling album in Australia that year. This the original first US pressing on Atco and is vinyl, of course.  Over 10 years ago, a CD was reissued in Australia and in 2014, a 180g vinyl copy was made available along with a digital download format.  The LPs are superior in sound to the digital CD reissues.  Even the 180g reissue has been "cleaned up" which means a different sound and a different sound quality.  This is the US copy collectors and fans want.  US promos were ALWAYS pressed BEFORE the stock retail copies, so this is the SUPERIOR USA pressing.

Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 42 years.
