Ratt

Invasion Of Your Privacy Ratt Deluxe edition

Special Deluxe Collector's Edition. Digitally remastered edition of the L.A. melodic hard rock band's 1985 album. There's no doubt that the mid-'80s were pretty much ruled by an exciting clique of Los Angeles based hard rock bands. Everyone from Mötley Crüe, Great White, Dokken and Quiet Riot were breaking records in one way or another, but it was five piece Ratt who really condensed all that was truly exciting about the scene when their debut album Out Of The Cellar exploded at MTV, radio and retail, giving then a double platinum album and a reputation second to none. Touring non-stop, the band were quickly ushered back into the studio - via a Hawaii songwriting retreat - for their follow up album, the equally impressive Invasion Of Your Privacy. Produced by Beau Hill, who masterminded the previous record, the music kept to the same ingredients, finding the band further exploiting their penchant for snappy melodies, heavy duty riffs and super catchy hooks. If there was any fatigue to be encountered then no trace could be found here, with the music retaining a polished and professional sheen that spelt instant appeal. Tracks such as 'You're In Love', 'Lay It Down' and 'What You Give Is What You Get' became instant Ratt classics bouncing out of the grooves and right into the public's heart. It was this album that truly elevated Ratt to arena headline status in the US whilst helping to spread the message further afield in Europe and Japan. A solid gold classic.
