The box set also features the rare “Nobody Rides For Free” 7 single, a 12 page replica tour book (featuring rare and never before seen photos from RATT’s personal archives), 11x17 WANTED POSTER, bumper sticker, replica backstage pass, and guitar pick in a custom lift top box. The box set has two collections: the vinyl set features all five albums - Out of the Cellar (1984), Invasion of Your Privacy (1985), Dancing Undercover (1986), Reach for the Sky (1988) and Detonator (1990) - remastered on 180g black vinyl. They pack the venues and really get to into our live show, which is what really stood RATT apart from so many bands of that era. That's why I'm out with my Susnet Strip experience and fans are diggin' it. "I mean this is getting to be an end of an era. So many bands from the 80s are pulling out," he said. Pearcy, who has kept the RATT flag flying high, as he plays over 150 shows a year in venues around the country and bringing the Sunset Strip experience to the fans that still appreciate their music and in an era when so many bands from the 80s have called it quits. And the band's music is still being immortalized in television commercials, TV shows and movies. Pearcy and Crosby formed a powerful songwriting team that helped forge the sound on their early tracks that would propel them to international stardom with the 1984 release of their major label debut "Out of the Cellar." The band, which featured Pearcy Crosby, guitarist Warren DeMartini, bass player Juan Croucier and drummer Bobby Blotzer, ruled the American arenas for most of the 1980s, with their songs becoming a staple in the soundtrack of so many kid's lives. RATT, the brainchild of singer Stephen Pearcy and guitarist Robbin Crosby, was one of the last band's from the LA scene to get signed, but they put their stamp on rock and roll history with their infectious songs and intense stage show. The only thing missing is the RATT EP, but that's coming soon enough. It is a great representation of the five guys and the whole Sunset Strip experience. I even added some extra goodies, something that I know Robbin would have liked to share with the fans. All the band members had input into what went into the box set. "It is the five records from the core members of RATT and the albums that made us who we are. RATT never really had a box set, so this gave us a chance to get everyone involved, and without the lawyers, to put this box set together," said Stephen Pearcy during an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group. And now, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of RATT's formation, the founding members of RATT have come together to bring the band's first box set - RATT: The Atlantic Years 1984-1990 - that features the five albums from Atlantic Records and RATT's massively successful period that still is a testament to the power of RATT's music even four decades later. ![]()
