REO Speedwagon
The Classic Years 1978-1990

Compil. UK 2019 on HNE Recordings Ltd label
Rock (AOR, Arena Rock)

By the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s, R.E.O. Speedwagon had won the hearts, minds and airwaves of continental North America. This hard won ascendance was comprehensively documented on the 8CD “Early Years 1971-1977” collection from HNE. R.E.O. Speedwagon’s long history goes way back to their formation in Champaign, Illinois in 1967. Initially a covers band playing bars and fraternity houses, the initial line-up featuring Neal Doughty on keyboards and Alan Gratzer on drums and vocals, named themselves after the R.E.O. Speed Wagon, a model of American flat-bed truck. By the time they recorded their debut LP for Epic Records in 1971, the line-up had settled around Terry Luttrell on lead vocals, driving force Gary Richrath on guitar and Gregg Philbin on bass. By the release of second LP, “R.E.O./T.W.O.”, the band were joined by Kevin Cronin on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards. Following 1977’s self-explanatory “You Get What You Play For: Live”, Bruce Hall would replace long time bassist Gregg Philbin in time for the punningly titled “YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO BUT YOU CAN’T TUNA FISH” [1978]. As well as extensive liner notes from Malcolm Dome, this expansive 9 disc set features a wealth of bonus tracks.
