FINALLY ! No bonus tracks, but I can live with that. I've been hoping for this album to get remastered in the US forever. I cannot believe how much music has come out this year.

Mmmm. I remember at least a couple of his albums (not counting the remastered first two) sounding terrible on cd, and I'm pretty sure this (and Transverse City, I think) was one of them. I might dip in, or I might just decide that the picks from this that are on the comps will do just fine.

This album is worth picking up for Certain Girl and Bill Lee alone. Sit on your ass and nod at stupid things indeed. Can't wait!

I have a Japanese version of his debut, but no others. Is the German version a significant upgrade over what's out now?

I haven't heard the new one. At the time I picked up the German because it was all there was on cd & it was cheap. It is an official release. I don't remember anything specifically bad or good about the sound.

Terrific album. The 2 tracks mentioned by Smiff, the title track, "Play It All Night Long", "Jeannie Needs A Shooter", and "Empty Handed Heart" one of his all time great ballads with a stunning vocal turn by Linda Ronstadt that still gives me chills all these years later. All highlights of a very strong album that is a must for anyone with an interest in Zevon or just great songwriting in general.

Was there some reason why this wasn't included in Rhino's Zevon reissue campaign a couple years ago?

AFAIK, only a belief it wouldn't sell.

Has anyone gotten a CD released by Friday Music? Just wondering if the booklets include liner notes, lyrics, etc?

"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long


Talk about a great opening to a song!

the Rhino 2-cd of his 1975 album sounded fabulous. I was amazed after several years of awful sounding Rhino releases that they got one right.

Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School
(Original Recording Remastered)

For an artist who first gained success as a songwriter with superstars like The Turtles, Linda Ronstadt, and Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon’s own acclaimed recordings proved to be a major force on the music scene for many decades. His music transcended all genres of rock and pop music styles, fusing melodic landscapes with thought provoking and somewhat controversial lyrical content during his successful reign on the album and radio charts.

After reaching platinum heights with his very popular Excitable Boy LP (Friday Music 9006), his amazing follow-up album Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School hit the rock charts again thanks to the remake of The Yardbirds classic A Certain Girl as well as his smash collaboration with Bruce Springsteen on Jeannie Needs A Shooter.

The twelve track masterpiece is loaded with some even more time honored Warren Zevon classics like the rockers Play It All Night Long, Wild Age and Junglework, as well as melodic ballads like Empty Handed Heart featuring his superstar friend Linda Ronstadt on vocals, plus his collaboration with T-Bone Burnett on Bed Of Coals.

The Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School sessions featured the musical talents of not only Warren Zevon but his superstar friends like Jackson Browne, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Don Felder from The Eagles, David Lindley, J.D. Souther and the aforementioned Linda Ronstadt.

This Warren Zevon masterpiece has been out of print on compact disc now for quite some time, however, Friday Music is now very honored to announce the re-release of Warren Zevon’s classic Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School. Mastered impeccably from the original Elektra Records tapes by Joe Reagoso (Warren Zevon/ Boz Scaggs/ Michael McDonald), this amazing rock classic truly shines once again in the cd format.

To enhance your compact disc listening, we have also included the original artwork elements in the cd folder, filled with the original lyrics, and rare record label art not seen in years.


The legacy of Warren Zevon continues with his 1980 classic recording Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School ….finally available once again on an impeccably mastered compact disc….only from your friends at Friday Music.
