Includes 16 page full-color booklet new essay about the making of the album enhanced artwork and previously unseen photos. Frank Marino had been developing a solid reputation throughout the 1970s as the figurehead of his band Mahogany Rush an impressive power trio rooted in electric blues that gave Frank a platform to showcase his tremendous guitar prowess all set within a wide screen musical landscape. In a bold move for this his eighth studio album he was encouraged to drop the Mahogany Rush handle altogether and set sail purely under his own name. It was a brave step but one that made perfect sense considering the momentum that he had already achieved. Released in 1981 and once again self-produced The Power Of Rock And Roll was a triumph seeing Frank setting fire to convention with a collection of hard hitting no nonsense rock that sounded like a defiant call to arms. It also signaled other major changes; splitting with long time management Leber-Krebs and cementing the appointment of his brother Vince Marino on rhythm guitar as a full time member of the group. Sharper infinitely more focused and taking no prisoners the eight tracks are veritable firecrackers making good on his intent to deliver a record that by all rights should have catapulted him to sizeable success beyond his cult appeal. Songs such as Ain t Dead Yet Runnin Wild Crazy Miss Daisy and the frenetic almost speed metal pace of Go Strange leave little room for any argument that Frank was losing his focus or resting on his laurels.
