Album Description

Fuse offers a fascinating glimpse into the musical beginnings of Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson before superstardom beckoned as members of Cheap Trick, but it also stands on its own as a prime example of keyboard driven psychedelic pop, circa 1969. Rewind proudly announces the re-release of the complete 8 song Epic album by FUSE with 2 bonus tracks (Hound Dog & Cruisin' For Burgers) issued under their original name, the Grim Reapers. 2001 reissue.

Customer Reviews:

Long search ended!.......2007-05-14

Being from Rockford, and having worked as a carpenter remodeling Rick Nielsens house, it is a relief to have FINALLY found this on CD!!! I have loved the unique sound these boys put out since I first heard a friends dads vinyl L.P. copy of this album about 30 years ago, and have not heard it in for the last 18 years. Great tunes, my favorites being 4/4 3/4, Show Me and To Your Health. Rick Nielsen mainly plays Keyboards on this, but he does display some early signs of songwriting ability as in Show Me and To Your Health. The singer was only 17 years old when this was released, what a strong voice for a kid!!! Tom Peterson has to be one of the most UNDERrated Bass players in popular rock. Just listen to his tight, chunky-bass on this album, and he was only 19 years old! Each track is different, nothing seems repetitive. That is to say, the guitarist, keyboards everyone sounds different on each track. I can skip the Bonus track of Hound Dog, though, only because I have NEVER liked that way-to-often-covered song in the first place.Do not expect to hear any "Cheap Trick sounding" material on this album. It is Hard-rock, a bit progressive, hard hitting music. This is a very good album, played by a bunch of Rockford kids, and is highly recomended by me.

This is a closet classic.......2006-09-29

I feel compelled to write this review because this is a diamond in the rough. This is outstanding hard rock. If you like Grand Funk, Purple, Zep, etc. BUY this cd. It is NOT amateur night; these guys pound out some great guitar playing and the bass is that fun "rollicking" style of playing. Very active bass. Everyone does a fine job; the singer has an outstanding voice. I cannot emphasize enough - if you love 70's hard rock then buy this!!! I guarantee you will rock out!

Rick and Tom of Cheap Trick cut their teeth here, and you can always do worse than this 1969 release.......2005-12-24

Fuse was the 1969 release of Tom Peterson and
Rick Nielsen who later made up 2/5's of Cheap
Trick (Jon Brant, another Bassist later factored
in when Cheap Trick REALLY took off in the '80's).

This is worth having if you can convert it to
disk or cassette. "Crusin' for Burgers" is my
favorite here. Check it out. You can always do
worse for 'Trick - Does "Woke Up with a Monster"
ring a bell? How about the awful (*) "Tom Peterson
and Another Language"?! Sorry, you're about to eat...
