Review Text
Three CDs. Signing to Warner Bros Records, with Marq Torien on lead vocals, Mick Sweda on guitar, Lonnie Vencent on bass and Jimmy D'Anda on drums, they had a good pedigree, having formed from the ashes of Carmine Appice's King Kobra. Marq Torien had even featured in an early line-up of Ratt. Ted Templeman, famed for his production work for Montrose, Doobie Brothers, but most notably Van Halen, took the band into the studio to oversee their self-titled debut (CD1). In 1991, the band released "FreakShow" (CD2). Their third and final album for Warners was 1993's "Za-Za" (CD3). The last Bulletboys album to be produced by Ted Templeman. Music tastes had changed since the heady heyday of only five years earlier, with grunge sweeping away the hairspray and pop-metal acts so popular at the end of the 80s. This complete collection of their Warner recordings includes new liner notes from Classic Rock's Malcolm Dome, based on interviews with the band's guitarist Mick Sweda and drummer Jimmy D'Anda.
