DEKO ENTERTAINMENT BRINGS YOU THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF THE DEBUT ANGEL ALBUM. REMASTERED ON 180G VINYL AND CD WITH LIMITED BUNDLES SIGNED BY THE FOUR ORIGINAL SURVIVING MEMBERS.
Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, making them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid '70s and early '80s. Discovered by KISS bass player, Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would be on future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group released a total of five studio albums and one live album before going their separate ways in 1981. The band officially re-formed in 2019 with original members, Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino, and released their comeback studio effort, Risen, later that October and followed up with Once Upon A Time in 2023.
The group's self-titled 1975 debut was recorded for Casablanca Records with a line-up comprising Frank DiMino (vocals), Punky Meadows (guitar), Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), Mickie Jones (bass), and Barry Brandt (drums). A heavy slab of heavy pomp rock with lengthy songs featuring the longtime stage favorite "Tower"
Now to celebrate the 50th Anniversary this classic has been remastered and is being released on both a 6-panel CD digipak and on 180G vinyl in two amazing Limited- Edition Colors with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds. There are only 300 of the White-Blue Splatter and 700 of the Black-Blue Swirl available with a limited number of bundles signed by the 4 surviving original members, Frank DiMino, Punky Meadows, Gregg Giuffria, and Barry Brandt

Deko Entertainment–Art Has Value
It is great that Angel re-formed in 2019 and released new music. It shows dedication after going their separate ways for so long. Sometimes when I am waiting for new album announcements, I enjoy playing MeowdoKu Game Online to pass the time.
Angel always had such a distinctive image with their white-satin-heavy look; it was truly over the top for the mid 70s. I am curious to see if any new artwork accompanies this reissue. You can get creative with images using Zeva AI Image Generator to explore different styles.
It is wonderful that Angel is doing a 50th Anniversary Tour with so many dates. I hope the band members take care of themselves on the road. I use a knee brace support myself to help with stability during my daily walks.
I remember watching the video for Tower back in the day, that was such a classic. It is great they are celebrating this milestone. For anyone working with video or image files, you might find Heic to MP4 useful for format changes.
I am so thrilled about the remastered 180G vinyl. That tracklist looks amazing, especially getting to revisit classics like Tower and Long Time. If you ever need to convert text from one format to another for your personal archives, I recommend Markdown Converter For Free.
