The new edition includes an unreleased track from the original sessions
BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, announces the release of Out Of The Cellar 40th Anniversary, celebrating Ratt’s massively successful first studio album with limited edition versions which include an unreleased track recorded during the 1983 recordings sessions.
The limited edition 40th anniversary package will be pressed on red and black splatter vinyl with a lenticular cover and an additional neon orange seven-inch with the unreleased track “Reach for the Sky.” The set will also be available as a limited edition CD format with a lenticular cover and unreleased track.
Formed in Los Angeles, Ratt was featured as an unsigned act on Uncle Joe Benson’s Local Licks Drive Time Show on KLOS-FM. This was their first time on radio and led to their signing to Atlantic Records.
Featuring the classic line up of vocalist Stephen Pearcy, guitarists Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby, bassist Juan Croucier, and drummer Bobby Blotzer, Ratt exploded on to the national scene in 1984 with the release of Out of the Cellar.
Featuring an undeniable hook and legendary music video, the lead single “Round And Round” hit No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album reached No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified triple platinum. Two more charting singles followed with “Back For More” and “Wanted Man.”
Out of the Cellar became a huge success, and after the album was released, the band went on a world tour, selling out stadiums and arenas worldwide and sharing a stage with acts such as Ozzy Osborne, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister and more.
Also available are new limited edition color vinyl versions of the albums Reach for the Sky, Invasion Of Your Privacy, Detonator, and Dancing Undercover.
