Kingdom Come's first three albums are set for a re-release. Titled Get It On: 1988-1991 - Classic Album Collection, the remastered box set features the band's most celebrated albums - ‘Kingdom Come’, ‘In Your Face’ and ‘Hands Of Time’. Originally released on PolyGram between 1988 and 1991, this exclusive set is fully remastered and contains bonus material on each disc. Released on 17 May 2019 through Caroline International, the set also contains a booklet of extended new sleeve notes from the renowned and celebrated rock journalist Malcolm Dome.
Formed singer Lenny Wolf, Kingdom Come's influential debut shot them to international fame in 1988, and the band became one of the most renowned rock bands in the world. The band's first single, ‘Get It On,’ was a big enough hit on AOR stations, that the band's eponymous debut went gold the day it was shipped.
Speaking to eonmusic in September 2018, drummer James Kottak talked about the extent of the album's influence, revealing that it had inspired the sound of another classic recording; "[Mötley Crüe] got Bob Rock [producer]because Tommy [Lee, Mötley Crüe drummer] came and told me at an L.A. Coliseum gig, he goes; “Man, who did your album - your drums sound incredible!” And he goes; “We’re getting Bob Rock for the next album”, and that was ‘Dr. Feelgood’.
The newly remastered version of the album contains the bonus tracks ‘Get It On [Single Edit]’, ‘What Love Can Be [Single Edit]’, ‘Helping Hand [Non-LP B-side]’ and ‘What Love Can Be [Radio One Edit]’.
1989's ‘In Your Face’ was met with huge acclaimed from fans and critics alike, it sold around the world in huge quantities, but as the band were about the tour the album, they imploded and dramatically split up. The album spawned three singles - ‘Do You Like It’ and ‘Overrated’ but a third ‘Stargazer’ was pressed but never was officially released.
The newly remastered version of this album contains the bonus tracks ‘Slow Down [Non-LP B-side]’, ‘The Perfect 'O' [Live]’, ‘The Wind [Live]’ and ‘Inc A Word from Lenny [hidden track]’.
In 1990, Lenny Wolf (who retained the bands name) reformed Kingdom Come with a whole new line-up. They made one more international release on PolyGram - ’Hands of Time’ - which was eventually released in 1991. Co-written with harpist/songwriter Carol Tatum of Angels of Venice, it was recorded with several session guitarists and drummers including future Poison guitarist Blues Saraceno and former Dancer drummer Bam Bamm Shibley. This newly remastered version of the album contains the bonus track ‘Don't Need to Justify’.
