Original 1989 UK single with poster cover

Warrant became the stars they so desperately wanted to be with their 1989 debut, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. Perhaps not the biggest stars, since Guns n’ Roses still ruled the roost in 1989, but Warrant nearly reached number one with Heaven and went platinum, which gave them the spoils of a rock star, from groupies and model girlfriends. Much of the success was, as mentioned, thanks to the power ballad Heaven. It was released as the second single from their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. It spent two weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and number three on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The track took Warrant’s record company by surprise. Indeed, once the widespread appeal of the song became apparent, the band was instructed to re-record the track to lend it a “bigger radio sound”. The first 250,000 copies of the record featured the original version while later pressings featured a new re-recorded version. The track is now one of the best known songs by the band however the track itself was an old track that had previously been recorded by Jani Lane and Steven Sweet’s old band Plain Jane.
