Description
Fuse - Fuse. Epic (BN 26502), U.S., 1968.
Original pressing! Stamped "Demonstration - Not For Sale" on back cover-
Cheap Trick's roots extend at least as far back as the late '60's, when the band's future founder and guitarist Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson were members of a band called Fuse. Not to be confused with any of three '90's artists who have gone by the same name, Fuse played blues-tinged hard rock on the order of Cream and the Yardbirds. At the time of the release of Fuse's only album in 1968, Nielsen was 21 and Petersson was 19, and the band's other three members were a year or two younger still. Their youthful vigor makes the self-titled album riveting and fun. Although the music of Fuse bears little resemblance to that of their future band, the presence of Nielsen and Petersson is evident and distinctive throughout; the two clearly had remarkable chemistry from the start. It's easy to imagine the Nielsen composition "Sad Day" being performed by Cheap Trick. Fuse is well worth discovering. In 2001, the album was briefly available on CD in the U.S. with two bonus tracks from the band's first single: a garage-rock version of the classic "Hound Dog", and its band-written B-side "Cruisin' For Burgers".
