Apart from the Beatles, there is no doubt that Rock music's second greatest influence was the power and glory crafted by Led Zeppelin. From the very moment their epoch changing debut album was released they have since set the standard for every emerging blues rock band. A runaway roller coaster ride, if you will, upon which an entire industry was erected in its honour. Because of this, you cannot talk about the work of Zebra without mentioning the Beatles or more pointedly Led Zeppelin. Fortunately, unlike some other less astute acts, Zebra's homage to the world's most influential blues-based rock band is not pastiche or mere karaoke but a distant, if admittedly recognisable, trace element that permeates the music with rare subtlety and beauty.

A classic power trio, Zebra were formed during the mid 70s in New Orleans, later shifting their power base to Long Island, New York where they attracted the attention of powerful local radio station WBAB FM who included them on a new talent compilation album. It wasn't long before Atlantic Records, based on their instantly identifiable sound and impressive fan following, signed them. Issued in 1982 and produced by Jack 'Aerosmith' Douglas they cut this, their impressive debut LP, perfectly balancing scorching hard rock with adventurous progressive rock influences. Indeed, such was the advance interest in the band the record became the fastest selling debut album in Atlantic's long and illustrious history, firmly establishing Zebra as one of the most exciting acts of the time.

Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Produced by Jack 'Aerosmith' Douglas / Contains Tell Me What You Want , One More Chance & Who's Behind The Door / 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork and band Involvement. Zebra's debut album surprised everyone, not least of all Atlantic Records, when it became the fastest ever selling debut album in the label's long and illustrious existence. This success was due in no small part to the amount of road work that the band had put in during the years leading up to its release, helping to create a demand that was eager to be satiated. The fact that the music was highly praised in advance by critics didn't hurt matters either.

Formed in New Orleans during the mid 70s, Zebra expanded their appeal by relocating to Long Island a few years later, helping to cement a dedicated fan base in two regions which gained them a record deal. The resultant debut LP rapidly achieved Gold status and set the scene for their follow up album promptly recorded and issued in 1984. Produced, once again, to exacting standards, by Jack 'Aerosmith' Douglas, the band took up the challenge by showcasing a concise collection of tracks that easily outgunned their previous work. Refining their powerful sound, the songs are both muscular and melodic, helping to craft a style that was influenced in equal parts by Led Zeppelin and the Beatles, with an additional adventurous lyrical content that set them apart from the competition. Standout tracks include Wait Until The Summer's Gone , I Don't Like It , I Don't Care and the powerful yet heart-rendering Bears .

Great news! I actually suggested these to Rock Candy earlier this year and my buddy said that was a great idea for them. I doubt it was because of me, but I will be buying these anyway.

So great to see these albums getting the special treatment. No bonus cuts which is a shame, but as their song goes "I Don't Care". I will try to find out if 3.V will also be getting remastered if these sell well (and I think that they will).

This news should make some folks here happy.

Wow! Just saw them over the summer at Westbury. Love this band and saw them numerous times in my college years at the local bars that played live music.
Even though I already have these CDs, I'll buy em once again since they are remastered.

I'd really like to see the live album remastered. That was a killer disc.

Tell them to get movin' on Molly Hatchet!

I will try-which albums? I can ask. And my friend will tell me.

That was damn good and was the last one for Atlantic. I'll ask about that and 3.V but my guess is these might be it and I'm OK with that...for now!

Everything from the first disc up to the live album.... which is another kick ass live record. That's my favorite era of MH.

I can't save any money with Rock Candy continuing doing this to me every month. Will need to get the two Zebra titles and the Charlie release.

I liked this first album but not enough to replace my prior version absent a significant sonic improvement. Let's hear the reviews once the rest of you have picked it up.

Before No Tellin' Lies showed up on an earlier 2-fer CD, it was very hard to come by since only a small amount were pressed and cut out soon after. When I worked at Atlantic in the late 80s & early 90s I managed to find a handful of copies via a warehouse manager. I got one for myself, and as I was relatively friendly with Randy & Felix at the time (meaning they would invite me backstage after their shows at Club Bene in New Jersey and even played a song I requested one time) I had the other copies sent to the band. They were going to surprise Guy with a CD for Christmas but I spilled the beans (unknowingly) before they had a chance to give it to him.

I continue to love these guys, and wish they were a little more well-known & respected.

So you will be getting these then Rich?

Nope. I'm content with my existing Zebra CDs unless they issue expanded versions...or perhaps 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson (not bloody likely).

These are getting a US release on Oct. 15. I have changed the date to reflect that and added links for the US issue.

I will be ordering these that way, and it's a bit cheaper.

Got the first one the other day from Amazon UK but the second album No Telling Lies is delayed.
