Graced with the incomparable vocal talents of Brian Johnson – later to see global fame as the lead singer with AC/DC - Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s hard rockin’ Geordie released a string of influential albums in the 1970s and even visited the upper reaches of the singles chart.
 
For their second album – 1974’s ‘Hope You Like It’ – the band engaged man-of- the-moment photographer Mick Rock (Bowie, Queen, Lou Reed) to shoot the startling cover shot of the band posing as old-time Chicago gangsters.... And the music was no less of an all-out assault. Highlights include the 7-minute epic ‘Mercenary Man’ and a cover of the traditional / Animals classic ‘House Of The Rising Sun’.

This 2024 reissue comes with restored original artwork including printed inner
bag, all pressed on 140-gram black vinyl.
