King Kobra - Ready To Strike - CD

1 Cd

Special Deluxe Collector’s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio / 16 page full colour booklet – 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos, band involvement and new interviews. Formed in California in 1984 by seasoned drummer Carmine Appice (Cactus, Beck Bogart & Appice, Rod Stewart) and featuring vocalist Mark Free (Unruly Child), guitarists John Michael Philips & Mick Sweda (Bulletboys) and bassist Johnny Rod (WASP), the band won instant attention for their unique look – four blondes and one brunette. Musically they received plaudits for their compelling energy infused riffs, shout-it-out-loud hooks and high-flying vocals.

Produced by Spencer Proffer for Capitol Records, debut ‘Ready To Strike’, was originally issued in 1985, and won them the attention of fans and critics alike by delivering one of the year’s best rec-ords. Certainly this record is one of the best examples of mid 80’s hard rock ever created.
