These guys were a perfect production package. Seeing the cover takes me back to circa '84. A best bud had this and the Invasion posters on his wall and a couple Kiss post Ace posters on his wall...lmao. he didnt look like a RATT and metal fan...theyve got a great catalogue!!
"You Think Your Tough" takes me immediately back to 83/84 when i was 13 and just getting into all that good music.....Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Ozzy, KISS, Quiet Riot...all of it.....just an awesome time! Thanks for posting!
That's cool. Did the same thing. Went down the Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden ride as well. The spandex crew got worn out on me after a couple years. There are some great tunes that still grab me when I hear them. I had a copy of Ride the Lightning that belonged to a radio station in San Fransico before the album came out. My friend gave it to me. I've lost true passion for most of the music (spandex crew) from then. You are right about the final mixdown on this EP. It sounds heavier, definitely better then the polished albums that followed. Oh ya. I have been a musician since I was 9 years old. You and I are 😮 54. I was born in 1970. Age has changed my taste a bit. Don't get me wrong. I listen to alot of heavy music. More on the rock / blues spot. I play a bunch of stringed instruments like the guitar, bass, mandolin, piano etc. Short semi pro career but I mostly enjoy writing my own stuff still and jammin' with whoever is on my Playlist. I hope you discover tonnes more music on the utube. If you don't have it, get the premium. It's worth it. Peace, and ROCK ON my friend
Me too! I was 13.-14.. Graduated 1987.. Greatest time ever!!We had the garage band playing a couple years after. Now I'm a CZcams drummer. Check my channel out!!🥁🎛️🎸🔥🤘
Robbin always said that this album was the "True" Ratt sound!! It's an awesome, phenomenal and ass kickin' album!!! RIP Robbin and a heart-felt "Thank You" always for so much. Not just for the music but giving us all a huge part of yourself in the music....The music was in you and you were seriously in the music!!!! We will NEVER forget you KING!!
Too bad they didn’t stay true to their true sound. I like the first album, but if it had the same raw production as this EP, it would have been that much better. They wound up with each successive album just getting slicker and more polished, to the point where they just started sounding like one big Pepsi commercial by the late 80’s. The (over)production overshadowed the music itself. If only they would have kept it raw like this, but then again it was the 80’s. That’s just how it went back then.
@@Shikta-poobah67 I couldn't agree more with you there!! In my own opinion, Robbin was their backbone, phenomenal song writer, vocalist, guitarist for sure and when they let him go, the band went down big time. Then Robbin passed and now, to me, they're only as good as a backyard party band for hire. I loved this album...the rawness to it just awesome!! They should've stayed to their own sound and not let other influences take that away from them!! I completely agree with you!!!
@@play4u67 Yeah, from all I’ve heard over the years, Robbin really was the heart and soul of RATT. Without him they just didn’t have that “thing” that made them click in the early days. He was obviously essential to what they were doing. Definitely left us too soon. May he rest in power.
Robbin was the easiest one of them to work with. He was, by all accounts, an easy going and really super nice guy to be around. The producer of "Out Of The Cellar", Beau Hill said this in an interview (which I found informative and interesting at the same time). I miss Robbin and the original Ratt lineup too. And yes you are so right, he did leave us way too soon. #RIPRobbinKingCrosby @@Shikta-poobah67

I lived through Ratts progression of music, The non polished sound on the EP makes it sound gritty and raw, honestly the more polished they became the weaker they became, don't get me wrong I love Ratt. Holds a place in my metal heart!!!!
This EP and the first album (Out Of The Cellar) are the only releases you need. The only other song I like by them from any of the later albums is “Body Talk”. As you said, they just got way too slick and polished after the first album. The rawness of this EP is more my style.
Great EP Debut by RATT, Raw, Heavy & Tough...Cool cover...Those legs of Tawny Kitaen ( R.I.P. ) were legendary !!! Top crush on all Headbangers....Excellent Danny, thanks !!!
Tawny was one of the kind; climbing down the stairs, turining around, taking her glasses off, laying down on the Jaguars... Still Of The Night. Btw this album is good.
Thanks for this! I love this album. After buying Out of the Cellar as a kid I went back to the record store looking for anything else Ratt & came home with this. My band even used to cover their cover of Walking the Dog lol. Good times! Ratt n' Roll! 🤘🎵💥
This EP was pretty great. I got a brand new promotional copy of it in ‘83 when I was growing up in Houston . Time Coast Records. It was hot off the presses and very few people back then in Texas had even heard of RATT yet. The only reason I found out about them was because I knew this girl in HS whose dad was some record company executive, and he was always getting stacks of promos sent to him, which he would sometimes give to her. She decided for whatever reason that I should have this. I’m glad she did. Blasted it constantly back then. So, there were a few of us outside of California who knew about RATT and about this EP in those early days before Round And Round came out. Unfortunately I no longer have my record. Lost it in a house fire in 2003, along with a couple thousand other records.
I've always loved this EP. I completely wore it out back in the day! I know that I still have it around here somewhere. It absolutely rocks! And it captures the raw energy of this great band...reminds me of the same raw energy captured on Crue's first album.
I got to hang out with Ratt in 1987 or 88 when they came through Topeka, Ks. Stayed at the Hollidome and they had rooms right near us. Met them all. Robin Crosby was cutting the cheese by the pool. Funnier than hell. Juan Crocier was playing video games with us in the arcade at the hotel. So much fun. They were all awesome!
Mona Loveland's legs on the cover!!❤❤❤ Johnny Fever in the booth: "..Did you order a deluxe redhead with everything to be delivered?" .... Mona: Very nice to meet you." Johnny: "Same here, same here., even though I have a feeling you're gonna take all my money and leave me for dead." I love WKRP!!! RIP Howard and Tawny.
IMHO this ! really was the best RATT album ever. Bought it at a local record store in Brandon, FL when nobody but Cali crowds really new who they were and it was first pressed and released on vinyl. Still have it. Kicked some ass at the time. STILL DOES. Has that unpolished garage band sound. Badass
Did they ever remaster this out on cd?? Im not sure? Does anybody know? Sure its on cassette and vinyl record but i was wondering why it never was remastered on cd yet? Anybody know?
You Think You're Tough is what got me into this band. It was different from what I was listening to at the time. I knew about Ratt before Out of the Cellar! I was vindicated!
This EP could hang with the best metal of the time. Can't say the same for anything after 85 from these guys (even though I love all their stuff), but this is absolutely killer!
Its crazy there I was a 80's kid who really wasn't into Ratt then after years of guitar playing hearing DeMartini riff's im learning Ratt tunes.. That 80's sound is fxxking killer ! One of the best generations of music.
Upload all yer shit the way it was intended years ago Dannyboy. No enhancements, no remixes, no remasters. Gritty, loud, in true analog. Thanks brother.🤘🤘🏿🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🇺🇸
This was a raw, heavy, and somewhat punk rock like EP. They were a hungry Sunset Strip band ready to burst onto the scene. I remember having this on cassette tape I purchased at Wal-Mart. They used these songs in their set list for several tours to follow.
DISCASO MUY BUENO Y RECUERDOS EN GUADALAJARA MEXICO RECUERDO QUE LO CONSEGUI CON UN AMIGO POR QUE SOLO SACARON UN TIRAGE Y VALIO LA PENA JIMMI ROCK LUGARES OCULTOS
In 1983 they challenged the Crue. The sound is amazing. Crisp, heavy and raw. Robbin & Warren were kicking ass since the beginning. Steven is awesome on vocals. Great debut album, even if it's EP. The sleeve couldn't be better. RIP Robbin & Tawny. You're forever immortalized.
I wore this cassette out back in the day. Wish that I would've been able to save it. Some of the old Ratt music is hard to find, and better yet put together like this CZcams upload. Brings back memories.
There were at least two versions of this EP. It was around the time of this EP that Warren DeMartini reportedly briefly filled in for George Lynch in Dokken.
It was gifted to me. I knew fuck all about RATT at the time. It was at least a year before Round And Round came out and made them big, plus I wasn’t living in Southern California so I hadn’t heard anything about them on a local level. All I knew was that I liked the album cover graphics, and then when I listened to it I really liked the rawness and Stephen Pearcy’s raspy vocals. Plus the cover (Walkin’ The Dog) was familiar. Kinda like that first Motley Crue album, it had this stripped down, rough around the edges sound quality that I loved, and was used to, being heavily into punk. I never once thought this was punk. It’s metal all the way… but the rawness of it was something I could definitely appreciate.
Or just not overproduced, like all their later albums. Out Of The Cellar is a great album, but after that it just got *WAY* too slick and polished (for my taste). That was a big problem with a lot of 80’s metal. I liked my metal raw, heavy, and dirty, and as the 80’s wore on that kind of production got a lot more scarce.

Sweet Cheater was very underrated. One of my favorite Ratt songs.
Tell The World!!!
Yeah u're right its a best rock song ever
"U Got it" is Pretty Damn Smoken Too....
Lack of Communication. About 40 years and still works.
Marvelous bass drum sound.
Poor Robin (R.I.P). Hard to believe this is 38 years old. Jesus, where does the time go?! Thanks Danny. 👍🤗❤️👋

This stuff has pretty much pure straight rocking anger. Unlike counterwise Van Halen, which Is such some kind softier. ❤
Totally, I didn’t word that correctly, there not something you listen to alongside each other, rather I meant that Van Halen is another artist I love.
Solid record. This and Great White's first release were 2 of my favs from the time. Raw sound. Love it
Love Great White's early raw stuff too

The bass on this EP is better than any remix that came after
There were at least two versions of this EP.
It was around the time of this EP that Warren DeMartini reportedly briefly filled in for George Lynch in Dokken.

Damn this is legit NWOBHM I wish the other Ratt albums sounded like this!
I absolutely love RATT and somehow never knew about this. I am kind of blown away at how much I enjoy this.
Gotta dive deep bro
How could this be NWOBHM when they were from L.A.? You do realize that the “B” in NWOBHM stands for “British”, right?
Ratt n roll 4 ever
Great band ❤
Hard to find when it came out. Found it though. Had to have it. Spent my grass cutting money on BMX parts and Metal records.
The early 80s were a great time to be young!
It was gifted to me. I knew fuck all about RATT at the time. It was at least a year before Round And Round came out and made them big, plus I wasn’t living in Southern California so I hadn’t heard anything about them on a local level. All I knew was that I liked the album cover graphics, and then when I listened to it I really liked the rawness and Stephen Pearcy’s raspy vocals. Plus the cover (Walkin’ The Dog) was familiar. Kinda like that first Motley Crue album, it had this stripped down, rough around the edges sound quality that I loved, and was used to, being heavily into punk. I never once thought this was punk. It’s metal all the way… but the rawness of it was something I could definitely appreciate.

For you Sandra. Turn it up!
I'm British. Most of the Punk bands it out ep's. With 3 or 4 songs . Maiden as well. But this is on cracking mini album.
i was a bit young when this came out,but made it to ratt n roll show,wow
Great EP 👏🎶, have this on original Vinyl
Masterpiece
this is what got my attention when it came to Ratt. for me, this is the best Ratt. raw and under produced.
Or just not overproduced, like all their later albums. Out Of The Cellar is a great album, but after that it just got *WAY* too slick and polished (for my taste). That was a big problem with a lot of 80’s metal. I liked my metal raw, heavy, and dirty, and as the 80’s wore on that kind of production got a lot more scarce.
В юности, нравились, сейчас слушается архаично и немного наивно..но ведь это далёкий 83 г...
man danny boy awesome choice love the raw sound of this e.p this is 5⭐+
Still have this EP. SO FRKN GOOD!!
Omg this is my favorite ratt album ever.. they all were so young.. ratt n roll 4 ever!!!!!
Super good stuff! Set me on fire!
play this at 1.25 speed, your'e welcome.
An extraordinary debut. The European version has 7 songs. It's more of a mini album than an EP.
Old Wave 🌊 Of American 🇺🇸 Heavy Metal 🤘🏻
Nice way to put it..
Absolutely one of the best ever!!
