Much Too Young to Rock'N'Roll

Description

The Complete Recordings 1980-1982: 'Much Too Young To Rock'n'Roll' also available on vinyl!!! At the end of the 1970s, The Teens were on a triumphant march and dominated youth magazines like "Bravo". Of course, they soon faced competition. Speedy was a real band, discovered playing music in their rehearsal room. A little later, the first single "Willy Is Back" was produced by Didi Zill (Birth Control, The Nighthawks), who was also known as a photographer for Bravo. The band went straight to the cult show "Disco" by Ilya Richer. This is how the band's first and unfortunately only LP, "Much Too Young To Rock'n'Roll", and the thorny single with the banger "Fight Like A Fighter" on the B-side were born. Both tracks were shown on television (a holiday show with Karl Dall and for the second time the Disco show) - Speedy became highly sought after! Speedy was approached by a well-known American management to go on tour as the opening act for Def Leppard. But this chance for an absolute breakthrough was taken away from the still underage musicians, as their parents were not enthusiastic about it and forbade this step. This also marked the end of Speedy. Or almost, because in 1982, one last single was released under the name Speed, which included a cover of Free and the song "Hurt Your Feelings". This song shows that Speed(y) had what it took to break out of the image of a Bravo teen band. It stands up to many melodic heavy bands like Def Leppard in their early days. That is why the first reissue of the LP and all singles is now presented on the hard rock metal label Golden Core. Of course, fans from back then will get their money's worth, but current lovers of straightforward heavy songs (NWOBHM, various German bands from the 80s) will also get their money's worth. By the way, Speedy dared to make a new start, but the reunion was somewhat slowed down by Corona. It will certainly be extremely interesting to see what the three gentlemen, who have been active in regional bands in recent years and have therefore never forgotten how to rock, have to offer!
