NAZARETH-NO JIVE-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU GERMANY-MAUSOLEUM-36700101. Mega rare album of British rock giants. The first press was released only in Germany. No Jive is the eighteenth studio album by the British band Nazareth. Released in 1991 by Griffin Records. Despite the retirement of full-time guitarist Manny Charlton and the return of Billy Rankin, in the ' 90s Nazareth returned to the classic hard rock that they had started with. From the first chords of "Hire and Fire", it is as if you are transported to 1974, to the time of "Rampant". The first 3 tracks are made in this style. Then the obligatory melodic semi-ballad "Every Time it Rains". Remnants of the sound of the 80's still remain in "Keeping our Love Alive". "The Rowan Tree" - a small cute instrumental on acoustic guitar, which is like an introduction to "Tell Me That You Love Me" - here the guys remembered that they are from Scotland and played a wonderful folk singing song. The disc ends with another replay of " This Flight Tonight» In February 1992, the album was released, received flattering reviews from critics, followed by a tour of Europe, including the first, after 1985, a trip to England. In 1993, "No Jive" was released in the United States, received excellent reviews and sold well. ...more
