TMG - Ted Mulry Gang - Disturbing the Peace - Promotional Copy - 1979 - ATCO Records - Rock - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1979 release from ATCO Records features the Australian rock outfit TMG, better known as the Ted Mulry Gang, delivering a high-energy collection of tracks that define the classic pub rock sound of the era. Originally hailing from the vibrant music scene of Australia, the band made their mark in the United States with this specific pressing of Disturbing the Peace, which showcases their signature blend of boogie-influenced riffs and anthemic hooks. This particular copy is a promotional version, as evidenced by the timing strip on the front cover and the gold "Promotional Copy Not For Sale" stamp, making it a unique find for collectors of vintage radio station pressings. The album includes standout tracks like "Disturbing the Peace," "Heart of Stone," and "The Devil in You," all produced by Richard Lush at Atlantic Recording Studios in New York.

The Ted Mulry Gang holds a fascinating place in rock history, as members Herm Kovac and Les Hall previously played in an early version of the Velvet Underground—a Newcastle-based band that featured Malcolm Young before he founded AC/DC. While the group was immensely successful in Australia, reaching the top of the charts with hits like "Jump in My Car," this U.S. release represents their effort to capture the international market with a more polished, guitar-driven rock and roll style. Often compared to the raw energy of early Kiss or the Rolling Stones, TMG’s music on this record is characterized by Ted Mulry’s gravelly, gregarious vocals and a heavy, thumping beat that makes it an essential piece of 1970s hard rock history.

♼ - By purchasing this album, you’re helping to keep music out of the landfills and onto the turntables. Music deserves to be played, not discarded. I greatly appreciate you helping me keep the analog spirit alive.

♡ - Because this is a pre-loved item, you may notice minor wear. I personally think that adds to the charm and nostalgia.
