Heeding the Warning: Bow Wow’s ‘Warning From Stardust’ (30041-28)
Today’s entry focuses on a later album from the original Bow Wow era, highlighting their continued evolution. We are looking at “Warning From Stardust,” released on the Vap label with the catalog number 30041-28.
Issued on September 21, 1982, this 12-inch vinyl LP captures Bow Wow several years into their career, navigating the changing musical landscape of the early 80s. Produced by the band themselves, “Warning From Stardust” showcases their transition towards a sound often categorized more explicitly as heavy metal compared to their earliest 70s hard rock output.
The album delivers a powerful collection of tracks featuring the signature twin-guitar attack, driving rhythms, and potent vocals that defined Bow Wow. Songs like “You’re Mine,” “Jets,” “Heels Of The Wind,” and the title track demonstrate their continued ability to craft high-energy, guitar-driven rock. Notably, the mastering was handled by the renowned George Peckham (“A Porky prime cut”), indicating a focus on audio quality.
30041-28 represents Bow Wow adapting their sound for the new decade, embracing a heavier edge while retaining their core musical identity. It’s a key album from their later period before the transition to Vow Wow, showcasing their enduring power and musicianship.
