Description
Profile: 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."
Please Note This is a collection of the following Albums by the Group Cheap Trick -
Cheap Trick Heaven Tonight At Budokan In Color Dream Police
NB. The album At Budokan had been damaged and has been replaced by a pristine copy of a later issue, so although the set is complete it is not a 100% a true box set, do not let this distract from this brilliant collection.
