Music On CD

Rockford, Illinois 1974 saw the formation of one of America's well known power-pop bands - Cheap Trick. They became a success with their self-titled debut, in which they started off their defining sound; the catchiness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of Punk rock. The Los Angeles Times proclaimed: "Cheap Trick gained fame by twisting the Beatlesque into something shinier, harder, more American." They have often been referred to in the Japanese press as the "American Beatles."

The band is most known for their tracks "Surrender," "I Want You To Want Me," "Dream Police" and "The Flame," - and did a cover of Big Star's "In The Street," for American sitcom "That 70's Show," (season 2 onwards), and also the theme tune to the American satirical late night television program "The Colbert Report."

Surprisingly, for the age of the band, the line-up hasn't changed a great deal. Also, The Illinois State Senate has declared April 1st to be "Cheap Trick Day." They also took the 25th spot in "VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock."

Music On CD is a reissue label that was established in 2013. It is the sister label to Music On Vinyl and is distributed by [l266965]. With a focus on bringing classic music back into circulation, Music On CD offers a wide range of albums from various genres. From iconic rock albums to timeless jazz recordings, their catalog features an impressive collection of *artists* and *performers*. Whether you're a dedicated collector or simply looking to discover some hidden gems, Music On CD provides high-quality reissues that will satisfy any music lover's cravings.

After releasing their second album In Color Cheap Trick conquered Japan and played Nippon Budokan two nights and they were received with a frenzy reminiscent of Beatlemania. Cheap Trick At Budokan launched the band accompanied with a superb videoclip of “I Want You To Want Me” into international stardom, and the album went triple platinum.

Ever since they received the stadium status and sold over 20 million albums. They were a big influence to Nirvana, according to their lead singer Kurt Cobain who once referenced his band as a 1990s version of Cheap Trick and Dave Grohl paid honour to them by inviting Rick Nielsen to his Sound City project.

This collection proves why this four guys from Rockford, Illinois filled so many stadiums year after year.
