(2021) Deniz Tek – Deniz Tek Collection Vol. 2: Take it to the Vertical
Review: Garage rock legend Radio Birdman founder Deniz Tek has released the reissue of the groundbreaking album Take It To The Vertical. Originally released by Redeye/Polydor Records Australia in 1992, was Deniz Tek’s first solo album. Recorded at historic SugarHill Studios in Houston, Texas, the album features Radio Birdman’s Chris Masuak on guitar and keyboards; and The Stooges’ Scott Asheton on drums. There are extensive liner notes, never before seen photos, and a bonus track that was not on the original release. This amazing album has been long out of print, rare, and nearly impossible to find. ‘Press On’, a ripping rock and roll anthem about air combat, was recorded live in the studio during the “Vertical” album sessions. This rare, unreleased track features Deniz and Chris Masuak, veteran Radio Birdman guitar slingers doing what they do best, and a smoking hot rhythm section led by the legendary Scott “Rock Action” Asheton on drums.
