ROSE TATTOO - Debut LP

Aussie hard rock combo Rose Tattoo was formed in Sydney in 1976 by ex-Buffalo guitarist Peter Wells; with the additions of former Buster Brown vocalist Angry Anderson, guitarist Mick Cocks, bassist Ian Rilen and drummer Dallas "Digger" Royal, the group made their public bow on New Year's Eve at the local club Chequers, which several years earlier launched the career of AC/DC. Chiefly inspired by the Rolling Stones and the Faces, Rose Tattoo's ferocious, ear-splitting sound quickly earned a devoted following among Sydney area pub goers, and in 1978 the group signed to Albert Productions; their debut single "Bad Boy for Love" was written by Rilen, who left the lineup prior to the record's release. Anderson's onetime Buster Brown bassist Geordie Leech was recruited for this, Rose Tattoo's self-titled debut LP. Hear: Rock'N'Roll Outlaw; Nice Boys; The Butcher And Fast Eddie; One Of The Boys; Remedy; Bad Boy For Love; TV.; Stuck On You; Tramp; and Astra Wally. Produced by AC/DC founders Vanda & Young (ex-Easybeats). This is an original 1980 pressing on MIRAGE RECORDS (19280) in cooperation with ATLANTIC RECORDS. There is a DJ timing strip on the front cover, indicating that this is a p-r-o-m-o record. These are the first few to be pressed from the freshly cut masters, and therefore sound the best. They are distributed only to selected radio stations, thereby making them desirable to collectors. The record jacket, labels & playing surfaces all appear in overall beautiful Excellent condition!
