Quiet Riot/New Riot I Original US LP Promo

QUIET RIOT’s “New Riot” also marked the debut of Randy Rhoads. The phantom masterpiece that was only released in Japan has been decided to be released. Randy left a huge mark on rock history after meeting Ozzy Osbourne. However, the band that was close to his heart was not Ozzy, but QUIET RIOT. QUIET RIOT was originally a band formed by Randy himself. They were a local Los Angeles band formed in 1973 with Kevin Dubrow, Kelly Garni, and Drew Forsythe. When they first formed, they called themselves “MARCH 1,” and it wasn’t until 1975 that they changed their name from “LITTLE WOMEN” to “QUIET RIOT.” They are very popular in the local area, and before their debut, they performed at the famous Starwood Club, which was also VAN HALEN’s stronghold, and there is an episode where over 1,500 people showed up despite the capacity being 600. Masu. However, no matter how popular it was locally, the late 1970s was a difficult time for hard rock. VAN HALEN was having trouble getting a contract, and so was QUIET RIOT. Meanwhile, Japan’s CBS/Sony noticed their idol-like looks and approached them about a contract. Their debut album “New Riot” will be released exclusively in Japan. It was recorded from June to August 1977, with Derek Lawrence and Warren Entner, who worked on WISHBONE ASH and NGEL, as producers. It was around the same time as VAN HALEN’s rival “Flame no Tuse”. Unfortunately, however, “A New Riot” was not released outside of Japan and was quickly discontinued. After that, Randy teamed up with Ozzy, Carlos Cavazo, and the restarted QUIET RIOT each became big hits, but “New Riot” became a phantom, with only a few songs being heard on the compilation album “THE RANDY RHOADS YEARS.” Ta. This work is not an LP from that time…it is a detailed reprint from a promo CD produced by epic. Well, the contents of “New Riot” are extremely original. Although it is a straight American HR different from Ozzy, it is not as heavy as the later “Metal Health”. Randy’s guitar is clearly noticeable, but there is no classically beautiful melody. Although he has some ideas, such as an arrangement of “Get Your Kicks” based on “Yankee Doodle”, he has not yet reached the stage where his individuality has been established. On the contrary, you can feel the buds of the cover sensibilities after “Metal Health”, such as taking up SMALL FACES’ “Tin Soldier” and DAVE CLARK FIVE’s “Glad All Over”. According to Randy, QUIET RIOT at the time was aiming for “a fusion of QUEEN’s brilliant dramaticism and DEEP PURPLE’s heaviness.” If you ask me, I can’t help but feel that maybe that’s the direction I’m heading, but it seems like my skills haven’t caught up. Just the starting point. This is a fresh debut work that reveals Randy’s struggle to break away from being a “local hero.” This is an original edition where you can enjoy a total of 12 songs, including “It’s Not So Funny,” “Look in Any Window,” and “Mama’s Little Angels (Last Call for Rock ‘n’ Roll),” which were also heard on “THE RANDY RHOADS YEARS.” QUIET RIOT – QUIET RIOT 1.
