greyfriar Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hm!?As much as I love their late work, there's no way that I can live without Never Turn Your Back On A Friend, Bandolier, In For The Kill and If I Were Brittania I'd Waive The Rules. The Bourge years were fantastic and the guy knows how to nail down a riff.Breaking All The House Rules :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see those phases almost as two different bands. I like all of their work, but if I had to choose I would prefer the early stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's also because when I got into Budgie those were the albums that came out at that time and for me that was the real Budgie. I didn't discover their 70's stuff till much later.

I didn't discover their 70's stuff till much later.I understand that. I still have some problems with line-up changes in bands. It's very rare that I like a band better after someone left. I grew up with the 70's Budgie and when I heard that Tony left the band it took me a long time to really enjoy their late work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Power Supply (w/ the EP tacked on!) is my favorite...but Never Turn Your Back on a Friend is second. I love Bourge and Thomas. :haz: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I love it all, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the early years, too. Although at least Ducky has one Bourge era album on his list, with Impeckable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I believe I've only ever heard the early stuff, up through Bandolier. I should give some of those later things a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just read this from Derek Riggs about the cover: "This wasn’t originally a Budgie cover. I did it for a band called Hawkwind. I was working with the art director of CBS records in London back in the 1970′s and he had both bands on his roster. Then I discovered that Hawkwind wouldn’t pay people for doing artwork for them, they would use it and not pay. So I sold it to Budgie instead. I was trying to get the sci-fi hardware to look metallic, something I was having trouble with at the time. This was the first time I really got it to look hard and shiny." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bourge and Thomas. :haz:With the latest remasters they've released the EP as a separate animal altogether, a whole different release entity. I haven't got that yet so I'll have to grab it.

treeduck Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Oh yeah and let me just say that Iron Maiden totally ripped off the riff from Wildfire with their 2 Minutes To Midnight tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
