There’s many bootlegs of this recording captured in Germany, 30th August 1987, but none with the sound quality of this CD (A++). No cuts between tracks, this is the complete set list remastered.

And you know what? There isn’t an official RATT Live album – none released in the ’80s, nor afterwards – so this “Germany 1987” is a one to treasure, because Pearcy & Co. were awesome on stage.

Their third album, “Dancing Undercover,” released in June 1986, reached No. 26 on the U.S. album chart and wa

6 Guilty As Hel

Formed in Blackpool in the late 60s, Heavy Rain was a ”heavy progressive blues” band who shared stage with big names like Hawkwind, Pink Fairies or Caravan.

In 1973, now reduced to a power-trio (Geoff Carter on lead guitar/vocals, Oggy Hargreaves on bass and Bernie Worsley on drums), they went to London and registered an album which was never released at the time but a few metal acetates were made.
Only one copy is actually known of this monster rarity.
Music is 100% underground psychedelic hard-rock with heavy distorted fuzz-wah guitars and delay/echo effects.
Seven original songs plus a spaced out Pink Floyd cover.
