Bad Company is a British hard rock, blues-rock group that emerged in the 1970s. The band was formed by former members of Mott the Hoople, Free, and King Crimson. Led by Paul "The Voice" Rodgers on lead vocals, guitar, piano, and harmonica, Bad Company gained popularity with their powerful sound and energetic performances.

The current line-up of Bad Company includes Mick Ralphs on guitars, piano, and backing vocals; Simon Kirke on drums, percussion, and backing vocals; Todd Ronning on bass (for touring); and Howard Leese on guitar (for touring). Together, they continue to captivate audiences with their timeless music.

Over the years, Bad Company has seen various changes in its lineup. Notable former members include Steve Price on bass and backing vocals; Brian Howe as lead vocalist and saxophonist; Boz Burrell on bass and backing vocals; Geoff Whitehorn as a guitarist; Lynn Sorensen as a bassist; Paul Cullen as a bassist; Rick Wills as a bassist; Dave "Bucket" Colwell as a guitarist, keyboardist, and backing vocalist; Robert Hart as lead vocalist; Jaz Lochrie as a bassist; and Gary "Harry" James on drums.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Bad Company has helped shaped the sound of an entire rock era with iconic powerhouse rock anthems and popular ballads. Having unearthed the original multi-track tapes and discovered previously unreleased tracks, takes, and mixes the band has remastered their first two albums to create new Deluxe Editions. Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Paul Rodgers, along with guitarist/songwriter Mick Ralphs, bassist Boz Burrell, and drummer Simon Kirke recorded the band's eponymous debut in November 1973 using Ronnie Lane's mobile studio at Headley Grange, the former poorhouse where Led Zeppelin recorded frequently. When Bad Company was released the following year, the album went to number 1 in America during the band's first U.S. tour and was eventually certified 5x platinum thanks to hits like Can't Get Enough, Bad Company, Ready for Love, and Movin' On.

2LP - The second LP of the Deluxe Edition features eight previously unreleased recordings such as the demo for the ballad The Way I Choose, a take of Bad Company' recorded right before the album version, and an unedited version of Superstar Woman, a song that Rodgers later recorded in 1983 for his solo album Cut Loose.
