History

Early years: 1968–1977

In 1961, Nielsen began playing locally in Rockford, utilizing an ever-increasing collection of rare and valuable guitars. He formed some local bands with names like The Phaetons, The Boyz, and The Grim Reapers. Finally, Nielsen formed Fuse in 1967 with Petersson, who had played in another local band called The Bo Weevils.

Fuse released a self-titled album for Epic Records in 1968, which was generally ignored. Fuse is the debut rock album by Fuse, released in 1969 (see 1969 in music) Epic Records is an American Record label. It is owned and operated by Sony Music Entertainment. Frustrated by their lack of success, Fuse, which by then included Bun E. Carlos on drums, moved to Philadelphia in 1971. Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə After spending a year in Europe, Nielsen and Petersson returned to Rockford and reunited with Carlos. Randy "Xeno" Hogan was briefly their lead singer, but then was replaced by Beloit, Wisconsin native Robin Zander, as the band was renamed as Cheap Trick. Beloit is a city in Rock County, Wisconsin, United States. As of the 2007 census estimate Beloit has a population of 37710 people Wisconsin ( or wɪˈskɑnsɨn (French Ouisconsin) is one of the fifty United States of America, located in the north central part of the United States

Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. They then opened shows for The Kinks, Boston, Santana, and other headliners, as they toured constantly, playing as many as 250 shows a year. The Kinks were an English pop and rock group formed in 1963 and categorised in the US as a British Invasion band Boston is an American rock band from Boston Massachusetts that achieved its most notable successes during the 1970s and 1980s At the same time, the band developed a large fan base in Japan.

Heaven Tonight is Cheap Trick 's third album released in 1978. Heaven Tonight, with its teen anthem Surrender, is/was considered by many critics and fans as the group's best album.

Budokan brings success: 1978–1981

Not one of Cheap Trick's first three albums made it into the Top 40 in the United States. In Japan, however, all three albums became gold records. When Cheap Trick went to Japan to tour the country for the first time, in 1978, they were received with a frenzy reminiscent of Beatlemania. Beatlemania is a term that was used during the 1960s to describe the intense fan frenzy (particularly demonstrated by young teen girls directed toward The Beatles, particularly [4] During this tour, on April 28, 1978, Cheap Trick recorded a live show for their loyal Japanese fans at the Nippon Budokan.

At Budokan launched Cheap Trick into international stardom. Initially intended for release in Japan only,[5] the album went triple platinum in the United States and reached #26 on the Swedish music charts. [4][6] The smash track was the live version of "I Want You to Want Me", a song originally released on In Color. It reached #7, and "Ain't That A Shame" peaked at #35.

One song from At Budokan, "Need Your Love", had already been recorded for the next studio album, Dream Police, which was released later in 1979. Dream Police is a 1979 Studio album by Cheap Trick. It was their fourth studio release and third in a row produced by Tom Werman. The title track of the album was a hit single, as was "Voices," but the work was panned by critics.

It was their fifth studio album and sixth release overall All Shook Up—produced by former Beatles producer George Martin—reached #24 on the charts and was certified gold, but the album's high-class background didn't save it from descriptions like "Led Zeppelin gone psycho.

Post-Petersson years: 1981–1987

Shortly after the release of All Shook Up, Petersson left the group to record with a short-lived project and one five-song E. P. called "Tom Peterson (sic) and Another Language". Pete Comita initially replaced him, and shortly thereafter Jon Brant became Petersson's steady replacement.

Over the course of the 1990s the band experienced several new lows when Sony Music, the successor to the band's CBS Records contract, put Cheap Trick's name on several budget compilations including Voices, I Want You To Want Me, Don't Be Cruel, and several others without their prior knowledge, consent, or agreement. Sony Music Entertainment is a major global Record label controlled by the Sony Corporation of America, being one of the "big four" record companies Zander's eponymous record, produced by Jimmy Iovine, was released in 1993 and quickly cut out.

The group left CBS after the disappointing sales of "Busted" – to sign with Warner Bros. Records, but following the poor performance of 1994's Woke Up With A Monster, Cheap Trick decided it was time to go back to the basics. Warner Bros Records Inc is an American Record label that operates as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Warner Music Group. They concentrated on the strength of their live shows, which were near-legendary, and they decided to release new recordings to independent labels instead of major companies.
