“The audience loved this band and they
loved their fans back equally. A Good Rats show wasn’t a rock concert. It was a
gathering of the tribes.” – Paste
Local legends on Long Island, NY the Good Rats seemed poised to break big in
the early to mid-1970’s. The band played Madison
Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum,
the Philadelphia Spectrum, and
England’s Hammersmith Odeon on bills
with Rush, Journey, Kiss, Meatloaf, Aerosmith and Ozzy Osborne,
while FM radio embraced the Good Rats,
as well.
The reason for the band’s lack of long-term success is
debatable, but the quality of its songs are not. A hard rock band that
elegantly mixed in elements of jazz and blues, with strong musical
fundamentals, and a powerful vocalist and sophisticated songwriter, Peppi Marchello.
Most Good Rats
fans consider the band’s album, Tasty, to its best. Originally
released in 1974 by Warner Bros, Tasty
was remixed and re-released in 1978 on the band’s own Rat City Records, but has not been available on vinyl since.
Now, forty years later, this beloved gem will hit
record store shelves again in a 40th Anniversary deluxe edition
remastered by two-time Grammy®-winner,
Vlado Meller. This 180gm,
transparent yellow vinyl version of the album includes two unreleased bonus cuts,
unearthed as part of the Marchello
family’s ongoing preparations for the re-issue the band’s entire catalog.
The limited vinyl run of
this latest edition of Tasty will be available at Record Store Day
participating locations on April 21st
with the CD and Digital versions available the day before, April 20th. The Good
Rats, with singer Stefan Marchello
carrying on the legacy of his father, Peppi
Marchello, on vocals, will perform a Record
Store Day set at Record Stop on
Long Island (30-32 Railroad Avenue, Patchogue) at 12 noon. The set will also be
broadcast live on local radio station WEHM.
Listen online here.
Peppi Marchello and the Good
Rats were inducted into the Long
Island Music Hall of Fame in 2008. The newly remastered classic Good Rats album Tasty arrives on CD/DIGI
on April 20th. The
limited deluxe vinyl version hits Record
Store Day on April 21st.
