Ratt is Ratt’s first official release, originally released on the band’s Time Coast label. The version of “Back for More” featured on this EP is an earlier recording than the one on the album Out of the Cellar. The European version also features an earlier recording of “You’re in Trouble” as a bonus track, believed to feature Joey Cristofanilli on bass guitar. A cover of Rufus Thomas’ “Walkin’ the Dog” is also included, presumably as a nod to the 1973 Aerosmith version. It is also noted for the strong lead guitar presence of guitarist Robbin Crosby, whose trademark “blues with a twist” solos are prominent through the first four songs. An early version of “Tell the World” (which did not feature Blotzer or Croucier) was also featured on the compilation Metal Massacre, but was removed from later pressings. “U Got It” often opened the show circa ’83-’84 and Pearcy did the same during his Nitronic ‘Pure Hell’ Tour in 2000.
