LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Originally released in 1989 on the Island Record Label. The band consists of Davy Vain - vocals, Danny West - guitar, James Scott - guitar, Ashley Mitchell - bass and Tom Rickard - drums. Produced by Paul Northfield, assisted by Davy Vain. ‘No Respect’ is the debut from this California quintet originally from the Bay area of San Francisco, and they kick ass!Vain, along with Jetboy and the Sea Hags, helped solidify the San Francisco metal scene. I call their style hair/glam/sleaze - contempories included Metallica, Exodus and Death Angel - who Davy Vain produced. Songs such as ‘Secrets’, ‘Who's Watching You’and ‘Ready’ really rock. ‘No Respect’ is one of the best and most underrated albums of the 80's. They had the look and sounded great - they should have been famous!eBay original copies now commanding prices of several hundred pounds.Sleevenotes by Ian Callaghan, producer of Mark Radcliffe’s show and Bruce Dickinson’s “Masters Of Rock” on BBC Radio 2.Tracklist NO RESPECT: 1.
