Graced with the incomparable vocal talents of Brian Johnson – later to see global fame as the lead singer with AC/DC, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s hard rockin’ Geordie released a string of influential albums in the 1970s and even visited the upper reaches of the singles chart.
Geordie’s first and biggest hit singles – ‘Don’t Do That’ and ‘All Because Of You’ respectively – both feature on the outstanding Hope You Like It, the band’s well-
received debut album from 1973. With a sound that landed somewhere between the glam-stomp of Slade and the blues stylings of Led Zeppelin, Hope You Like It still delivers a blast of Northern English air some 50 years on.
This 2024 reissue comes with restored original artwork including printed inner bag, all pressed on 140 gram black vinyl.
