Law and Order
Guilty of Innocence 
Vintage ORIGINAL COPY  MINT & UNPLAYED 
MCA Records     
 1989
 
Description: I received this promotional copy of Law and Order - Guilty Of Innocence when I worked in radio. Never played it and as with many of my extra albums it has been stored away for over 30 years in a closet standing upright with hundreds of other unplayed LPs, so the record itself is mint and unplayed.
To REITERATE - please NOTE: ALBUM is new - but arrived to me years ago from record company with no shrink wrap, so it is open obviously, but record is mint - and has never been played.
Amazon Review New Jersey's Law & Order is close geographically to the sound they embrace, a combination of Aerosmith meets Lynyrd Skynyrd, with maybe a sprinkling of Led Zeppelin & Ted Nugent. With their debut "Guilty of Innocence," they come on like North meets South, kind of like Tesla or Tora Tora in a way, but much more forceful & commanding than I've ever heard either.

Law & Order's lead singer "Shane" (just Shane) sounds like some kind of mutant child, born of Burton Cummings from the Guess Who & Robert Plant. A truly unique voice that really compliments the music & sincere intelligent lyrics (most part) with just the right amount of emotional phrasing.

Guitarist Phil Allocco is on fire through much of this album, especially the high energy smoker opening track, "We Don't See God," an adrenaline chunk of crack rock if there ever was one, guaranteed to make your ears inhale the smoke coming out of your speakers! Guilty of Innocence also has beautiful quite moments, "the Shelter," an ode to abandoned & homeless children, a very touchingly sincere song. Law & Order also do a very convincing cover of Skynyrds "The Needle & the Spoon," a wise choice that goes right along with this album.

Guilty of Innocence is not without its faults, songs like "Whiskey" just sound plain out of place & insincere here, just a run by the numbers long ditty you'd might expect to hear from Tesla or Tora Tora, not terrible, but not up to the high standard of the rest of the album.

Law & Order put out a sophomore effort, "Rites of Passage," an aptly named album if there ever was one. Gone was the freshness & inspiration of "Guilty of Innocence," & Law & Order then passed right on into to oblivion, never to be heard from again.
