With the release of 'Ted Nugent', the
self-proclaimed Motor City Madman and god of gonzo
guitar became not just a star, but one of rock
'n' roll's icons. The songs 'Motor City Madhouse'
and 'Just What The Doctor Ordered' would become
two of many of Ted's road anthems. These and the
other 10 monster tracks on 'Ted Nugent' were clear
evidence that Ted was an artist to be reckoned
with.
Ted Nugent still likes to reflect back on what his
critics were saying as he put his band, the Amboy
Dukes, to rest and started the next phase of his
career?one that would be under his own vision, his
own direction and most importantly, his own name.
?I remember some of the more creative writers of
the ilk claimed it would be 'the final nail in my
coffin',? Nugent says with a redemptive laugh. ?I
knew better.?
The mention of Ted's name elicits different
reactions from rock fans today in different parts
of the country. Nods of familiarity on both
coasts, and clenched fists and knowing grins in
the vast Midwest and South. He's sold millions of
albums. Rock radio couldn't play enough of him ?
and neither could promoters, who made him the
hardest-working and top-grossing gunslinger of the
mid- and late-'70s. While most other rockers
posed with their sleek Stratocasters and Les
Pauls, there was Nugent, whipping his mane of hair
around his head as he cranked out sound on his
big Gibson Birdland, a hog of a guitar with rich,
thick and creamy tones ? clearly not something to
be trusted to amateurs. But in Nugent's hands it
screamed, squealed and cried, providing a vivid
3-D voice for the monster crunch of
'Stranglehold', the menacing stomp of
'Stormtroopin' and the fiery boogie of 'Hey Baby',
'Motor City Madhouse' and 'Snakeskin Cowboys'.
We feel this is Ted's finest recording by far. And
here, you'll hear this classic more clearly and
vividly than ever before. This reissue was
remastered by Smith in the late George Marino's
mixing room at Sterling Sound using Marino's VMS
80 lathe and an ATR 102 tape machine modified by
Mike Spitz?the only one of its kind in the world.
Then this 200-gram vinyl beauty was pressed by
Quality Record Pressings, makers of the world's
finest LPs, where it was plated for vinyl by Gary
Salstrom, QRP's master plating technician and
general manager. The power burned into these
grooves is difficult to find anywhere else this
side of the Atlantic, and indeed it remains a rare
commodity anywhere in the world.
As Ted himself proclaims: ?If anyone wanted to
know what rock 'n' roll was all about, this is the
only album they'll need.?
