Bad Company release third unheard track

Bad Company have released an ‘early slow version’ of their track Whiskey Bottle. Originally appearing as a b-side to the 1975 US single Good Lovin’ Gone Bad, the track features on the deluxe edition reissue of the band’s second album, Straight Shooter.

This is the third unreleased track to see the light of day, following the ‘Take Before Master’ of Feel Like Makin’ Love and the ‘Demo Reel 1’ version of Little Miss Fortune.

Straight Shooter and the band’s self-titled debut have both been remastered from the original analogue tapes, with each set including the original album alongside with a number of rare and unreleased recordings. Both albums are released on April 7.
