Review

UK only remastered re-issue of their 1978 album. Catapulted to huge international success as a result of their solitary hit single, the stunningly infectious and universally praised, 'Black Betty', Ram Jam seemed poised for a career in the rock n' roll fast lane. Disappointingly, however, it was not to be; dubbed by the media as one hit wonders unable to fulfill their potential. Behind the scenes, however, a complex web of intrigue was played out against a backdrop of record company machinations, power-playing producers, managerial hi-jinx and internal feuds. Fed up of being pushed around like puppets, the band focused their anger and frustration to record A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Ram, one of hard rocks most coveted and revered records that, for no fault of its own, failed to resuscitate their ailing career. Hailed as a cult classic and compared to the best work of Aerosmith, Starz and Ted Nugent the album, originally released in 1978, has become a collectors favorite remaining unreleased, until now, on Compact Disc. Rock Candy. 2006.2006 Digitally Remastered Edition of the Second Album, Originally Issued in 1976. In the Wake of their One Hit "Black Betty", the Group Refined their Sound for this Outing, Cleaning Up the Sound but Losing None of the Power of Performance. The Album Has Gained a Sizable Following in the Years Since It's Original Release.
