Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Classic US sleaze produced by Tom Werman (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister) / 12 page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interview with front man Tracii Guns. IT WAS an unlikely combination; an LA based band pivotal to the upsurge in mid-eighties glam based hard rock but fronted by London born vocalist Phil Lewis, previously of Girl, one of the early eighties most lauded UK outfits. Amazingly, the combination was highly combustible confirmed by the band's self-titled debut album crashing into the US charts and going on to sell over half a million units.Naturally all eyes were on the bands second album, `Cocked And Loaded', a record recorded in Los Angeles with seasoned producers Tom Werman (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Cheap Trick) alongside Duane Barron & John Purdell (Poison, Ozzy Osbourne, Heart) and featuring guest appearances from Ted Nugent, Derek St. Holmes, Robin Zander and Rick Nielson. The results were spectacular, confirming that LA Guns were more than just a flash in the pan by storming the US charts, selling over a million copies and producing two bonafide hit singles with `Never Enough' and the power ballad `The Ballad Of Jane'Stylistically their no-nonsense style of razor sharp riffs and tough-guy bravado also helped them to surf the grunge onslaught from Seattle allowing the band an afterlife that many were ultimately denied. Make no mistake, `Cocked & Loaded' remains one of the most comprehensive and exciting records to have emerged from the glam/sleaze movement.
