Active compensatory factors: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and Paul Rodgers (Free and Bad Company) were at a loose end and decided to team up in the early eighties. Joining them in The Firm were Tony Franklin (bass, keyboards) and Chris Slade on drums. Chris should be familiar as he was the drummer in Manfred Mann's Earth Band (reviewed here).

Although Rodgers and Page have identifiable styles of their own, the songs themselves are distinctively The Firm rather than any of those other bands listed above. It's quite eclectic in its range of songs and styles. Maybe that's why critics panned it in 1985 and sales were average.
Where do they all belong? I kept this album but bought and sold their second. It's a good reminder of 1985 for me.
