May 24, 1974 – Bad Company hit the scene… and rock ‘n’ roll never looked back.
51 years ago, four legends walked into Headley Grange and walked out with one of the most iconic debut albums in rock history. Bad Company wasn’t just a band—it was a statement, and their self-titled record came out swinging.
The very first release on Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song Records, this album delivered wall-to-wall classics:
“Can’t Get Enough” – a top 5 anthem.
“Movin’ On” – highway soundtrack perfection.
“Bad Company” – moody, mythic, and totally badass.
“Ready for Love” and “Seagull” – deep cuts that still hit hard.
5× Platinum. 25 weeks on the UK charts. One of Kerrang!’s greatest. A permanent fixture in classic rock canon.
Here’s to 51 years of blues-soaked, riff-driven, swagger-filled rock.
Bad Company ’til the day we die.
