Info:
1986's 'Thrill Of A Lifetime' was deemed such a failure by King Kobra's label Capitol that they were dropped. It had failed to live up to the promise (and sales) of 1985's debut 'Ready To Strike' apparently, even though it was good American rock radio AOR (it was excellent.. Ed). In turn Mick Sweda took off to join The Bulletboys, Johnny Rod hooked up with W.A.S.P and Mark Free would later join the sensational but ultimately doomed Signal. This left Carmine Appice and David Michael Phillips to pick up the pieces and they did this by enlsiting ex Montrose man Johnny Edwards (who had sung on Montrose's 1987 dud 'Mean' album), Northrup (previously with Steffanie) and Hart. The only label to show interest was British indy Music For Nations and the band were duly signed. King Kobra would go on to record the best of the three real KK albums, a blistering set encompassing metal, hard rock and AOR.
