New York-based Dust were one of the first "proto metal" bands to crank their amps to 11 and let it rip. Now the group's seminal albums, 1971's self-titled debut and 1972's Hard Attack, are being reissued as a single CD and double vinyl (numbered for collectors) via Sony/Legacy. Featuring a stellar line-up, Dust included drummer Marc Bell (later christened Marky Ramone of the Ramones), bassist Kenny Aaronson (who played with everyone from Bob Dylan to Joan Jett), singer-guitarist Richie Wise, and lyricist-producer Kenny Kerner - both of whom would form a production team and producer Kiss' first two albums.
