Dirty Looks
Bootlegs
After releasing a pair of excellent, Billboard-charting hard rock albums for major label Atlantic Records-Cool From the
Wire (1988) and Turn of the Screw (1989)-DIRTY LOOKS licensed the nine-song Bootlegs release to Shrapnel Records in
1991. Consisting of material written throughout the bands peak stage, some of these compositions were purported to have
been inexplicably rejected by Atlantic during the bands stint with the label, despite obvious strengths abound. Tracked
at Acme Recording Studios outside of New York City and Dodge City Sound in Los Angeles, the tunes were laid down in
large part by that eras core lineup of Henrik Ostergaard (vocals/guitar), Paul Lidel (guitar), Jack Pyers (bass), and
Gene Barnett (drums).
Cary Devore-who would later join Ostergaard in Rumbledog-also performed drums on a handful of recordings. Bootlegs
presents a diverse range of the high-quality hard rock for which DIRTY LOOKS was known; from the straightforward thrusts
of "Speed Queen" and "Fool for You," to the darker atmosphere of "Dude, Wheres the Money," the bluesy edge of "Loveless"
and "Only Tomorrow," and lone power ballad "The Last Forever."
Divebomb Records is now excited to put forth this officially licensed reissue of Bootlegs-back on CD for the first time
in a whopping 30 years! Fully remastered by Jamie King Audio, this reissue-limited
to just 1,000 copies-will also include an augmented layout with retouched photography.
