Subsequently making significant appearances with Edgar Winter and Johnny Winter, as well as Steely Dan and Alice Cooper, and even squeezing in a solo hit with 1973’s ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll, Hoochie Koo’, before deciding to put together his own band in 1976.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing for a rockier, harder, less poppy sound, Derringer signed to Blue Sky Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records, in 1976. Simply titled ‘Derringer’, among the original tracks the debut included lyrical collaborations with famed song writer Cynthia Weil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough only achieving cult status, their debut was followed up by ‘Sweet Evil’ in 1977. With Jack Douglas, famed for his work with Aerosmith, enlisted for a more commercial edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it was felt that the band didn’t quite capture their onstage fire in the studio, the release of a live album in 1977, simply titled ‘Derringer Live’, made perfect sense. It was also to be the final recording from the original quartet, as the band slimmed down to a three piece in 1978 for the more contemporary sound on ‘If I Weren’t So Romantic, I’d Shoot You’, Derringer's final album was produced by Mike Chapman, famed for his work with Blondie, Sweet and Suzi Quatro, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set also features the rare, promo only ‘Live In Cleveland’ album, which includes an onstage version of ‘Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo’ as well as a cover of Bowie’s ‘Rebel Rebel’. This collection is also completed with rare mono single versions for ‘Let Me In’, ‘Don’t Stop Loving Me’ and the Warren Zevon song ‘Lawyers, Guns And Money’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDERRINGER (1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  LET ME IN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  YOU CAN HAVE ME\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  LOOSEN UP YOUR GRIP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.  ENVY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.  COMES A WOMAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.  SAILOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.  BEYOND THE UNIVERSE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.  GOODBYE AGAIN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBONUS TRACK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9.  LET ME IN (MONO VERSION)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC TWO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIVE IN CLEVELAND (1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  LET ME IN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  TEENAGE LOVE AFFAIR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  SAILOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.  BEYOND THE UNIVERSE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.  ROCK AND ROLL, HOOCHIE KOO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.  ROLL WITH ME\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.  REBEL REBEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC THREE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSWEET EVIL (1977)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  DON’T STOP LOVING ME\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  SITTIN’ BY THE POOL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  KEEP ON MAKIN’ LOVE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.  ONE EYED JACK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.  LET’S MAKE IT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.  SWEET EVIL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.  DRIVIN’ SIDEWAYS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.  I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBONUS TRACK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9.  DON’T STOP LOVING ME (MONO VERSION)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC FOUR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDERRINGER LIVE (1977)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  LET ME IN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  TEENAGE LOVE AFFAIR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  SAILOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.  BEYOND THE UNIVERSE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.  SITTIN’ BY THE POOL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.  UNCOMPLICATED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.  STILL ALIVE AND WELL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.  ROCK AND ROLL, HOOCHIE KOO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC FIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIF I WEREN’T SO ROMANTIC, I’D SHOOT YOU (1978)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  IT AIN’T FUNNY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  MIDNIGHT ROAD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  IF I WEREN’T SO ROMANTIC, I’D SHOOT YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.  EZ ACTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.  LAWYERS, GUNS AND MONEY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.  POWER OF LOVE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.  SLEEPLESS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.  TONIGHT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9.  ROCKA ROLLA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10.  ATTITUDE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11.  MONOMANIA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBONUS TRACK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.  LAWYERS, GUNS AND MONEY (MONO VERSION)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46675496304894,"sku":"","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/hnebox081.webp?v=1746726399","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/5cd-derringer-the-complete-blue-sky-albums-1976-1978","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
