Brand New Day by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Brand New Day is an album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released in 1977. This was the band's tenth studio album and their first and only release for ABC Records. Brand New Day was produced by Roy Halee and former BS&T drummer Bobby Colomby. Colomby and Halee had also co-produced the group's fourth album, Blood, Sweat & Tears 4 in 1971. This collection failed to chart on the Billboard Album Charts in the top 200 even though it did reach #205 under the chart. The group's lineup stayed constant between this album and 1976's More Than Ever with the exception of the departure of original BS&T drummer Bobby Colomby. Colomby had been the sole remaining original member of the group at the time of his departure in 1976. Roy McCurdy took over the drums beginning on this release. This album has not been released on compact disc except for an unofficial version made in Russia in the early 2000s. The CD includes a sticker on the front that states "First time on CD! a 1977 studio album by Blood, Sweat and Tears digitally transfered [sic] from original LP", and three additional live tracks (I'll Drown In My Own Tears, Gimme That Wine, and Trouble In Mind / Shake A Hand) not on the original LP.
