RATT – Germany 1987 [‘Alive The Live’ Japan release only] 2021, MP3+FLAC

HQ

And here’s in exclusive another RATT album you need to collect: “Germany 1987“, released as part of the very good Japanese specialized label “Alive The Live” series. 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 was awarded platinum. The ”Dancing Undercover World Tour”, which began in December of the same year, was a great success.
This performance at Monsters of Rock in Germany was recorded and broadcast by MTV and local radio stations. The setlist of the day was 12 songs, so this live album is complete. As bonus tracks, two songs recorded at Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan 31st December 1988 are included. Sound quality is great as well.
If you think that at the time RATT was ‘bland’ due to “Dancing Undercover” poppy sound production, just wait to hear this CD – RATT is a beast, a heavy beast here.
HIGHLY Recommended
