Rare original UK (Emi Swindon) 1992 Chrysalis pressing

Former Vinnie Vincent Invasion members Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum formed Slaughter with guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias in 1988 in an attempt to cross over to pop audiences. Their metal style’s main focus is on catchy melodies and Mark Slaughter’s impressive vocal range, particularly his somewhat nasal falsetto. Their debut album was such a success that the band were soon back in the studio to record their second album The Wild Life. It debuted at number 8 on the Billboard album Charts and would produce three hit singles, The Wild Life, Days Gone By and Real Love. It was certified gold. Stick It To Ya might have sold better but The Wild Life is the most mature album with an electric atmosphere some solid and deep cuts. However the bands style fell out of favor with the alternative explosion and the group struggled through the rest of the 90s. This album should’ve gotten more love.
