"now, i could go on and on about how the rats are the worlds greatest bar band. how theyve opened for aerosmith, stevie wonder, the rolling stones, kiss, anyone who was REALLY big and came anywhere near new england, they played with them. but this album is a special one. it is THE FIRST RECORDING IN HISTORY to use the aphex aural exciter system. which is now a staple in recording studios worldwide. theyve even made guitar and bass stompboxes out of em (and i have one). cherry river is my favorite on this album. the power in the notes peppi hits is amazing. the cat's guitar work was never better, lenny was flexed his jazz-style rock chops, mickey was dead on in those harmonies on both guitar and vocals. it doesnt get much better."

"I am originally from roch.NY where I grew up hearing the rats on WCMF (local radio)and allways loved them.I was lucky to see them live at the Penny arcade in the early 80,s.Then I moved to Buffalo NY.After a few years I noticed thatI didnt hear them anymore-I asked local freinds to find no-one local ever heard of them and local radio was rude to me when I called to request"we dont have it!!!;click!!Finally I got myself pc,looked up info on the rats,hoping to add "tasty" and "ingin joe"to my music list.sad that I cant get the "tasty "album"."

All cd's available.

I saw the original lineup open for Rick Derringer in 1979, at Susquehanna U. in Selinsgrove, PA--they blew him away. Saw them again at RatStock 1, in 1999. Peppi, son Geno on lead guitar, and son Stephan on drums. Peppi still has one of the greatest voices in rock and roll.
