Original Uk pressing with printed innersleeve During the 1980s, a handful of German hard rock acts managed to make a pretty remarkable impression on the American music market. While not all of them had the staying power and popularity of Scorpions, some, like Accept, Helloween, and Hannover's Victory made an impression that — while not necessarily selling millions — was almost unattainable in the following decades for German rock acts. Signed to CBS records, Victory released their first album — a self-titled affair that was boosted sales-wise by a rather Spinal Tap-esque "sexist" cover — in 1985. A U.S. tour was in the offing and the band made additional appearances at Oakland's Day on the Green Festival and the Texxas Jam festival. In June of 1987 Victory returned to the studio once more to self produce their third album 'Hungry Hearts'. The album emerged in December 1987. Victory backed it up with another tour of North America, supporting Manowar, quickly followed by a European tour, during which they recorded a show in Hamburg in January 1988 for release as the live album 'That's Live'. ‘Hungry Hearts’ are very much in the same vein as the first two albums and it would be the last album with Charlie Huhn of Foghat and Ted Nugent fame on lead vocals until the 2003 reunion album Track listing: 1.
