The First 10 Explosive Years


The First 10 Explosive Years is a 1999 compilation album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It is on the Angel Air record label and, like all their Atomic Rooster and related-artists releases, is derived from original tapes owned and remastered by John Du Cann.
Whilst prog-reviewers cite it as a good compilation that captures some highlights of the band's career, it consists entirely of unlicensed tracks, whose copyright is owned by Sanctuary, EMI and Polydor Records.
It has been reissued and repackaged at least twice:
In 2004, it was teamed with The First Ten Explosive Years Volume 2 and released on the Recall Records label as a double CD titled Tomorrow Night.
In 2005, it was reissued on the German Ambitions/Membran International label as disc one in a two-disc set entitled Rebel with a Clause. The second disc was the 11 track reissue of Headline News.
The album features live versions of two of the band's most successful singles, "Devil's Answer" and "Tomorrow Night."
