Special Deluxe Collector’s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio / 12 page full colour booklet – 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new interviews. After three studio albums he had carved out a rock solid audience eager to lap up his no nonsense live performances and ‘All Night Long’ is a fine testament to that fact. Surrounded by members of what was, in effect, the same band that Sammy had commenced his career with, namely Montrose, and the addition of super guitarist Gary Pihl, the album cemented his ability in stone. Originally released in 1978, and taped at headlining shows in California whilst he was promoting the ‘Musical Chairs’ release, the album captures Sammy in full flight. Remarkably, there are none of the usual overdubs or studio ‘fixes’ on this record whatsoever, just the band and a mobile studio capturing a moment in time that still sounds remarkably fresh to this very day. Of course, the ghost of Montrose is never that far away with electrifying renditions of ‘Make It Last’ and ‘Bad Motor Scooter’ underscoring a link that will always be present.
