The Firm- THE FIRM- CD- 1985/1997-

THE FIRM is the first studio album by British rock band the Firm, released by Atlantic Records on 11th February 1985. Its tracks range from the epic "Midnight Moonlight", based on a previously unreleased song by Led Zeppelin called "Swan Song" to the commercially successful "Radioactive". "Closer" employs a horn section to subtle effect. The album also includes a version of the Righteous Brothers' hit "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling". The main aim is to play some rock 'n' roll and have some fun. Artists of Page and Rodgers' vintage were in an odd position during the '80s – seen as dinosaurs by critics and fans who felt the rock titans of the '60s and '70s needed to step aside to make way for younger, fresher voices, or at least modify their sound to fall in step with the rising tide of New Wave-influenced acts who leaned harder on synthesizers than heavy guitars. The post-Led Zeppelin era had been difficult, but The Firm seemed to give Page a new lease on life. The sessions for The Firm were just that – pure enjoyment. The band personnel were far from the only ones thrilled with the end result. THE FIRM, recorded with Slade on drums and the multi-faceted Tony Franklin handling both bass and keys, wasn't exactly a sales juggernaut when it arrived in stores, but it definitely performed respectably. Subsequent singles failed to exert as much of an impact on the pop charts, but "Closer" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed" were both rock hits.
PERSONNEL: Paul Rodgers – lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars; Jimmy Page – acoustic and electric guitars; Tony Franklin – fretless bass, keyboards, synthesizer, backing vocals; Chris Slade – drums and percussion; Steve Dawson – trumpet; Paul "Shilts" Weimar – baritone saxophone; Don Weller, Willie Garnett – tenor saxophone; Sam Brown, Helen Chappelle, Joy Yates – backing vocals.
Fittingly for a band that endured its first trial by fire on the road before it had even really cemented its lineup, The Firm also toured behind its self-titled effort – not a lot, given that the tour started in February and was over by May, but enough for audiences to get a feel for what this unexpected supergroup sounded like in person. Of particular interest to Zeppelin fans was the closing track on The Firm, a nine-minute piece titled "Midnight Moonlight." A reworked version of a "Physical Graffiti" castoff originally titled "Swan Song," it offered a nod to Page's illustrious past while allowing Page and Rodgers an opportunity to test their new songwriting bond. Looking back, Rodgers seemed to concede that the decade's overall musical climate may have doomed the group from the start. As far as Slade is concerned, however, The Firm may one day ride again. They were going to put it together again. There were talks between their people, people and other people and it was going to be put back together in 2014. Then this tiny, lesser-known band called Led Zeppelin got back together and did their reunion, which knocked their on the head. Who knows what will happen? Never say never. It might happen.
