Release Notes:
Twisted Sister was left in a strange position after
the massive breakthrough success of their 1984
album, Stay Hungry. While the album contained more
of a pop edge than their more raw preceding albums
(Under the Blade and You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll),
the heavy metal masses worldwide still embraced the
album, as well as the lucrative MTV/pop audience.
So for its follow-up, the band was faced with a
question: Should they continue in a more
pop-oriented direction or return to their early
heavy metal? As the resulting album proved, 1985's
Come Out and Play, the answer was a little bit of
both. Behind the boards was Scorpions/Accept
producer Dieter Dierks, and the compositions
alternated between the ambitious (the title track),
obvious ready-for-radio tracks (a cover of "Leader
of the Pack," "Be Chrool to Your Scuel"), and songs
custom-made for headbangers ("The Fire Still
Burns," "Kill or Be Killed"). The aforementioned
"Be Chrool to Your Scuel" contained such musical
guests as Alice Cooper, Billy Joel, Clarence
Clemons, and Brian Setzer, for which a humorous
video was filmed, and ultimately banned by MTV. And
although the album was certified gold shortly after
its release, it soon slid from sight -- eventually
leading to Twisted Sister's demise a few years
later. When originally released on Atlantic, the
cassette version of Come Out and Play included a
bonus track, "King of the Fools," which has been
included on the Spitfire Records CD reissue in
1999. Strangely, the 1999 CD contained very muffled
sonics.
