Suzi Quatro is a kind of interesting success story. Being unable to find a success in the US, she went in search of it within the birders of the UK. It was there where she found the elusive goal. Her professional ‘discovery’ was with Mickie Most, whose work with The Animals and Herman’s Hermits produced excellent results. From there, it was a short but wild ride for the singer. Her single with Chris Norman (Smokie), “Stumblin’ In” gave her her widest hit. Of course, Suzi was full of great pop/rock tunes since her first UK hit, “Can The Can”.
Over time, Suzi released over ten studio efforts. Of those, seven were in her glory years of fame. Afterwards, Suzi went into an envied legacy where she exists today. Music fans from back then still like what she created and played. It’s why she features in over fifteen compilation sets. If you’re a Quatro fan, then it’s no doubt you that you own at least one of them.
On September 22, Suzi Quatro, in conjunction with Chrysalis Records, and PledgeMusic, will release a 20-track compilation selected by Suzi Quatro herself. In addition to the personalized choices of the set, the music will be newly remastered. The remastering is done from the original 1/4″ stereo tapes. The extensive ‘best of’ will be called The Best Of Suzi Quatro: Legend.
The offerings include CD in a six-panel digipak, both MP3 and WAV DD availability, a signed 2LP vinyl set with DD rights, and (unsigned) 2LP vinyl set with Digital Download rights. The vinyl LPs will be pressed on Gold-colored vinyl.
If you choose to order directly from the PledgeMusic site, here’s the access link. There are still 70 days before the project closes.
