Lynyrd Skynyrd Gimme Back My Bullets 45RPM (2 LP)

180g 45rpm Double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!
Mastered from Original Analog Tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound!
The southern rock legends of Lynyrd Skynyrd have made music history with titles like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". Now, with the reissue of their fourth studio album "Gimme Back My Bullets" as a 45 rpm double LP, an audiophile listening pleasure with a harmonious mixture of rock, blues, folk and country comes out. It is the penultimate album in Skynyrd's original line-up - part of the band tragically died in a plane crash a year later.
Even the original recording of the album from 1976 had a much better sound than the three previous studio albums, and Ryan Smith of Sterling Sound increased the intensity and dynamics by remastering it. The title song "Gimme Back My Bullets" is directly recommended as a hint.
What would American southern rock be without the scorching sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd? Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings have already brought you exceptional reissues of Second Helping and Nuthin' Fancy. Back to the well then, we go, for two more Skynyrd favorites - the epic Gimme Back My Bullets and the band's bluesy, hard-rocking 1973 debut, Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd.
This 1976 Tom Dowd-produced classic, Gimme Back My Bullets, the fourth studio album from the legendary southern rock band, features the original lineup of Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, lead guitar great Gary Rossington, Allen Collins on guitar, Leon Wilkerson on bass, Billy Powell on piano, and Artemus Pyle on the drums.
Other records from the late, great, and original Lynyrd Skynyrd were more barroom raw (Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd), indelibly rocking (Second Helping), and radio-ready (Street Survivors), but none was as endearing and cohesive as Gimme Back My Bullets). The 1976 LP, whose title referred not to ammunition, but to the Billboard term 'No. 1 with a bullet,' found the normally three-fisted Florida guitar army one axe short.
"But it allowed Gary Rossington and Allen Collins to work more intuitively on the songwriting chores with vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, while providing room to groove in the process. The results, though underrated in the band's epic pre-crash catalog, sweep into rock ('Trust,' 'Searching'), blues ('I Got the Same Old Blues'), folk ('Every Mother's Son'), and country ('All I Can Do Is Write About It')." - Amazon.com
"The newly vivid, intense sound is thanks to the remastering by Ryan Smith, at Sterling Sound...this LP reissue will always be the way to hear this album...the heavyweight packaging is lush - and the pressing quality, from AP sister company Quality Record Pressings, is excellent... These albums have never sounded better, and it's not much of a leap to say they never will." - Robert Baird, Stereophile, May 2017, Performance 4/5, Sonics 4/5
