This bundle pairs both studio albums from Detective — their 1977 self-titled debut and follow-up It Takes One To Know One.
Both titles are limited edition color vinyl pressings, remastered by Dave Gardner, and faithfully reproduced from the original recordings. A perfect way to revisit the band’s powerful, swaggering rock sound and complete your collection.
Formed in 1976, Detective featured vocalist Michael Des Barres, guitarist Michael Monarch (Steppenwolf), bassist Bobby Pickett, ex-Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye, and drummer Jon Hyde. The band signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label and released their self-titled debut album a year later.
Their second album, It Takes One To Know One represents the creative high-water mark of a band that bridged the space between British rock theatricality and American blues muscle.
