The Band's First Six Studio Albums, Plus Hits Collection 10 From 6, Available Digitally for the First Time

Surviving Members of Original Lineup Launch 10-Date U.S. Tour on June 17

Available Exclusively on iTunes on June 16, All Other DSPs on June 30

LOS ANGELES-The surviving members of the original Bad Company lineup -- singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and drummer Simon Kirke -- will reunite this summer for a 10-date U.S. tour that begins June 17 in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live. A day before the tour kicks off, Rhino will celebrate the band's return with the digital debut of Bad Company's six Swan Song albums, and its multiplatinum hits collection 10 From 6.

On June 16, Rhino will digitally release Straight Shooter, Run With The Pack, Burnin' Sky, Desolation Angels, Rough Diamonds, and 10 From 6 exclusively on iTunes for $9.99 each, with the band's eponymous debut available for $7.99. The albums will be released to all other digital service providers two weeks later on June 30.

Bad Company's multiplatinum hits such as "Can't Get Enough," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Shooting Star," "Movin' On," "Ready For Love," and "Rock & Roll Fantasy" propelled them to the forefront of the '70s arena rock movement. To coincide with the new tour and digital catalog releases, mastertones, ringback tones and sms tones for all six of the aforementioned tracks are available now for the first time from all mobile carriers.

The original quartet -- bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006 -- debuted in 1974 as the first band signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label. Their first album topped the charts and was certified platinum five times thanks to the hits "Movin' On," "Can't Get Enough," "Bad Company," and "Ready For Love." The band returned the following year with Straight Shooter, a triple-platinum album that peaked at #3 and featured the hits "Feel Like Makin' Love" and "Good Lovin' Gone Bad."

Bad Company notched its third consecutive platinum album in 1976 with Run With The Pack, a Top 5 album that featured the hits "Simple Man" and "Young Blood." The group hit #3 on the charts in 1977 with its follow-up, Burnin' Sky. The band returned two years later with the double platinum Desolation Angels and in 1982 with its final Swan Song release, Rough Diamonds. In 1985, Bad Company released its double-platinum hits collection 10 From 6, the title a sly reference to the collection's 10 songs from six albums. The band will release a new live DVD featuring the original lineup, Hard Rock Live, later this year.
