David Lee Roth re-releasing material
On April 3, 2007, Friday Music will re-release three much-sought-after classic recordings from the legendary DAVID LEE ROTH Warner Brothers catalog: “A Little Ain’t Enough” (FRM 1054), “Your Filthy Little Mouth” (FRM 1055) and the highly collectable “Sonrisa Salvaje” (FRM 1053) (“Eat ‘Em and Smile” sung in Spanish). All three albums have been re-mastered by Joe Reagoso, and each compact disc comes complete with the original graphics and artwork keeping the integrity and spirit of the original releases.
“Sonrisa Salvaje” is receiving its first ever release on compact disc, making this highly anticipated Roth album finally available to his fans. Originally released in 1986 for a very short time on vinyl, this much coveted collector’s item has fetched high dollars at auctions over the years. David Lee Roth gives a great performance along with his band at the time, Steve Vai (guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Gregg Bissonette (drums). This collector’s dream features ten rocking Spanish versions of classics like “Loco Del Calor!” (“Goin’ Crazy”), “Yankee Rose” and “En Busca De Pleito” (“Big Trouble”).
Often regarded as one of his most defining hard rock moments, Roth’s platinum-plus “A Little Ain’t Enough” features twelve incredible tracks produced by Bob Rock (METALLICA, MÖTLEY CRÜE). This 1991 smash continues the tradition with Roth staples like “Hammerhead Shark”, “A Lil’ Ain’t Enough”, “40 Below” and “Shoot It”. Featured players include Jason Becker (lead guitar), Steve Hunter (guitars), Brett Tuggle (keyboards and vocals), Gregg Bissonette (drums) and Matt Bissonette (bass and vocals).
1994’s “Your Filthy Little Mouth” is one of Roth’s more prolific projects, and highly regarded as one of his best albums to his huge fan base. Produced by Nile Rodgers (DAVID BOWIE, DURAN DURAN) this album churns non-stop with fourteen classic Roth performances. Radio staples “She’s My Machine” and “Everybody’s Got The Monkey” and the bluesy “Sunburn” are only a few of the shining moments on this classic release. Includes the core band of Terry Kilgore (guitar), John Regan (bass), Tony Beard (drums) and Richard Hilton (keyboards).

I am always looking for Big Hair worthy news. Didn’t mean to scoop ya Allyson. 🙂
I kind of like the Megadeth track, but I am used to Mustaine’s growly vocals.
If you didn’t check it out already, take a listen to that new Black Sabbath track too. Killer stuff!

HardRock…you beat me to the punch!
I was going to write about the Megadeth song…and DLR on my site.
You are one fast cookie 🙂
It’s great you snatched the Megadeth track before it was taken down.
Right now I’m on the fence about how I feel about it.
Basically, I love the beginning – the instrumentals are amazing.
I think the track loses a little “umph” once Mustaine starts singing…but I am still very excited for this album release.
Cheers!
Allyson
