Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks is the first studio album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1981.
Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks was recorded in February, 1981, between Hanoi Rocks’ club shows. While the album was produced by Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe under the name “The Muddy Twins” (inspired by “The Glimmer Twins”), the album was recorded by Swedish Seppo Johansson, who worked at the studio.
Even though the album is regarded by many as good, Andy McCoy commented in the December, 1981 issue of Soundi that Johansson ruined many of the songs. Also Michael Monroe says that he can’t listen to his singing on the first Hanoi-album, as voice wasn’t very good yet.
