ROUGH DIAMONDS is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Bad Company. The album was released in August 1982. ROUGH DIAMONDS, like its predecessor, Desolation Angels, was recorded at Ridge Farm Studio in Surrey, England, in March and April 1981. It was the last album by Bad Company's original line-up and the most recent studio album to feature Paul Rodgers. ROUGH DIAMONDS was a difficult album by most anyone’s standards. For one thing, tensions were running high between the band members, reaching a point where Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke actually had to separate Paul Rodgers and Boz Burrell, who’d gotten into a fistfight with each other. It also didn’t help that the band’s manager, Peter Grant, had been virtually incommunicado since the death a few months earlier of a member of one of the other bands he handled. Perhaps you’re familiar with the deceased - his name was John Bonham. Even worse, when ROUGH DIAMONDS hit record store shelves in August 1982, it proved to be the lowest-charting album of the band’s career, although it’s a testament to their fanbase that it still managed to earn them a Gold album. Following the album, the band disbanded. The album's opening track, "Electricland", written by Rodgers, was the album's biggest hit. Rodgers' "Painted Face" also received substantial airplay on rock stations. The album became the original line-up's worst-selling album. The album was remastered in 1994.
PERSONNEL: Paul Rodgers – vocals; lead guitar; Mick Ralphs – guitars; Boz Burrell – bass; Simon Kirke – drums; John Cook – piano, synthesizer; Mel Collins – saxophone.
The swan song on Swan Song. Bad Company had done well for themselves by laying off for two years after the disappointing Burnin' Sky, then coming back with Desolation Angels and its hit single, "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy." Instead of capitalizing on this resurgence, they disappeared for another three years before trying it again with ROUGH DIAMONDS. It was not yet common in the music business for major groups to stay away from the marketplace that long. In Bad Company's case, the results were disastrous - the album didn't even make the Top 25 in the U.S. or go Gold, much less Platinum. And those, of course, were the stakes - if a band like this can't fill stadiums, they might as well stay home on their estates. The real problem was that the band had nothing to say. The music was softer and less distinctive than on their earlier records, and it seemed that the team was not getting along. Why else would the bass player, not previously known as a songwriter, get two sole songwriting credits, and why else would the singer be allotted three carefully credited lead guitar spots? In any case, Bad Company broke up after this album, with Paul Rodgers going solo and then hooking up with Jimmy Page in The Firm, and Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke waiting four years and then disingenuously launching a new band under The Bad Company name. As it happens, it was also business – specifically, a label insistence – that led Kirke and Ralphs to carry on with the Bad Company name a few years later without Rodgers in the band. But that’s a story for another time.
