Bachman-Turner Overdrive is a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that had a series of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums in that decade alone. Their 1970s catalogue included five Top 40 albums and six US Top 40 singles. The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads". Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care Of Business", "Hey You" and "Roll On Down The Highway", still receive play on classic-rock stations. After the band went into a hiatus in 2005, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner reunited in 2009 to tour and collaborate on a new album. In 2010, they played the halftime show at the Grey Cup in Edmonton, AB and continue to tour as of summer 2014. On March 29, 2014, the classic Not Fragile line-up reunited for the first time since 1991 to mark Bachman-Turner Overdrive's induction into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame, and participated in performing in a tribute version of "Takin' Care Of Business".

Canadian rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive are synonymous with classic 70s rock and the hits ''Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet'' and ''Taking Care Of Business''. Formed in 1972 by Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, from the ashes of country / soft rock band Brave Belt. During the 70s they released 8 albums to much acclaim and radio airplay and the band have reformed and existed in various forms since, sometimes with other family members and without Bachman and/or Turner. This set is those 8 original albums, each in a card replica sleeve, with a 20 page book. The 1973 eponymous debut, released May that year, proved successful, with Turner rough vocals leading the lion’s share of the songs. Alongside Randy and Fred were Tim Bachman (rhythm, guitar) and drummer Robbie Bachman. 1974’s Not Fragile saw Blair Thornton come in on guitar, providing a more duel lead style. Their only #1 album in the main US charts. 1975’s Four Wheel Drive followed a similar line, and was recorded quickly in under a week. The track ''Hey You'' is well worth spinning a few times, it definitely stands out and was a hit in the US and Canada. Released at the end of ’75, fifth album Head On was a solid, if a little weaker, while there is some good guitar work here. The songs are typical BTO but do drift at times. A stand out rocker is ''Take It Like A Man'', featuring some stonking piano from Little Richard. Freeways followed in 1977. Turner felt a sideman and Bachman admitting it was rushed. That said, ''My Wheels Won’t Turn'' is one of a couple of tracks as good as anything BTO would ever do. Following Randy’s departure the band continued, with April Wine bassist Jim Clench coming in and Turner moving to guitar. As opener ''I’m In Love'' shows, the sound is a little heavier and upbeat. Much the same can be said of 1979’s Rock’n’Roll Nights, a decent and polished album with some good tracks. Several tracks were written or co-written by producer Jim Vallance. A wonderful set that encompasses all the albums of the classic period, the good, bad and ugly. No extras, but if you want the straight albums this is as good as it gets, and well packaged too.
