Hailing from Canada, NEIL MERRYWEATHER is the selfsame band of the enigmatic Neil Merryweather. Merryweather's history in music stretches back to the mid '60s, first with The Tripp and then onto a couple of psychedelic blues albums in the late '60s and early '70s. However, it is his mid '70s work - both Kryptonite and the previous year'sSpace Rangers - where the NEIL MERRYWEATHER name etched itself into cult legend, the pair of albums being crucial records of progressive hard rock. With the Neil Merryweather & the Space Rangers constellation opening for the likes of KISS and T-Rex, among others, back in the day, as well as Merryweather producing and playing bass on ex-Runaway Lita Ford's debut solo album, Out of Blood, the legend only intensified. Dramatic, mysterious, and more than a bit glammy, both Space Rangers and Kryptonite have been highly sought after by collectors, as both albums have been out of print since their original release and have been frequently bootlegged. Now REGAIN RECORDS has come to the rescue to satiate that hunger with fully official reissues of Space Rangers and Kryptonite on all formats. As a bonus to the vinyl edition, Kryptonite comes with a 7" featuring two exclusive songs. Experience the legend of NEIL MERRYWEATHER again or for the first time with this long-overdue and fully official reissue of Kryptonite!
