RATT – The Atlantic Years 1984-1990 [HNE / Cherry Red 5xCD Box + Bonus Tracks] (2020)

RATT’s five-album output for Atlantic Records titled “The Atlantic Years 1984-1990” is being released as a CD box set by Cherry Red Records / HNE Recordings fully remastered. The collection, housed in a clamshell, includes several bonus tracks for each album.
If you haven’t discovered Ratt yet (I doubt), this Box is the place to start. Even if you have, this is a must for retiring your well played records.
This is far superior than the BMG 5-disc set to be released by BMG on June 9, 2023, because it doesn’t include bonus tracks.
