CURRENT RAGE: The missing musical link between Athens and Atlanta.

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of an out-of-print forgotten classic,
Propeller Sound Recordings is set to release a remastered and expanded edition of Current Rage’s sole release, Seven Songs.

The relative scarcity of the original EP suggests the item does not circulate on the marketplace very often, making it ripe for reissue and reintroducing the band to a new breed of fans with this remastered and expanded version.

Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone wrote, “an enviable and impressive
