A reissue of THOR’s debut album from 1978 on CD for the first time, complete with cleaned up sound and a handful of bonus tracks also from his first and finest era. By now you are likely aware of the many subsequent albums Thor has made venturing from his metal days in the ‘80s and ‘90s through his numerous flirtations with punk in the last decade. With all respect due to Thor's many comebacks, it is his first album Keep The Dogs Away that has been his diamond, his little piece of glam rock perfection that has and will continue to stand the test of time. Perhaps never fully appreciated upon first release due to the larger than life novelty aspect of muscleman Thor himself, and the fact that the music was given a back seat by the media to the comic book like feats of strength Thor employed to get the initial attention, or perhaps his Chippendale-esque takeover of the Merv Griffin show in 1976. For whatever reason the music was never taken as seriously as it merits. Keep The Dogs Away easily holds its own nicely alongside the finest efforts of the Sweet, Ziggy-era Bowie, Mott The Hoople, Sweeney Todd/Nick Gilder, T-Rex, and the like.
