GEORDIE-DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE NAME-1974-THE FIRST DENMARK PRESS-EMI- EMA764. Matrix A-3/B-3. A very rare Danish original hard rock style icon in top condition. Geordie's second album "Don't be fooled by the name" (1974) became both the most interesting and the most successful work of the band: Melody Maker noted their "incredible drive", and NME recognized that "Malcolm writes great songs, and Johnson brilliantly performs them." One of the most interesting numbers on the record was the hard rock version of the standard "The House of the Rising Sun" (later that year, it was released as a single and reached the Top 20). Oddly enough, this was Geordie's last hit on the popularity lists of Britain or Western Europe. Throughout 1975, the band traveled continuously around Britain and Europe, exploiting their unexpected success. The only single released in the same year, "Wizard", went unnoticed. The failure also befell the concept album Save the world, released in early 1976, their rather clumsy attempt to stake out a plot in the territory of art rock. Geordie's star set as quickly as it rose. Deciding that the bandmates were to blame for everything, Johnson left Geordie in the summer of 1976 and signed a personal contract with MCA Records. Recorded with new partners and released in the same year, the album "Brian Johnson and Geordie" included reworking of the band's old hits, but did not return success. Johnson's second and last solo album "Strange man" was released on New Year's Eve, but it was also met with little enthusiasm by listeners. Johnson returned to Newcastle, where, forgetting to think about rock, he worked as a technician at a gas station until someone from AC/DC's entourage (some unknown fan) mentioned him, trying to find a replacement for the deceased Bon Scott. In April 1980, Johnson was officially announced as the new vocalist of the band.
