Description
Still sealed double cd. Limited 300 copies
Formerly known as Paris, Poison was formed in 1984 by Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall, and drummer Rikki Rockett. After leaving their hometown of Harrisburg and resettling in L.A., the boys began holding auditions for a fourth member. Guitarist C.C. Deville got the gig, famously beating out future Guns N’ Roses bandmate Slash in the process. With their line-up intact, Poison embraced a glammy, androgynous image and began playing shows in L.A., becoming masters of self-promotion and D.I.Y. advertising in the process. The hard work won them a record contract in 1986, and they released their first album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, that summer. The record spawned a pair of Top 40 hits, Talk Dirty to Me and I Wont Forget You and sold over two-million copies within a year of its release. This album takes you back to the years before Look What The Cat Dragged In. Here you have an early live recording from Old Forge in their hometown of Harrisburg Pennsylvania in 1984 where the band performs mostly covers. Then you have the early Paris demo from 1985. So if youre curious about where Poison came from and what they sounded like before getting their name Poison then disc is for you
