Poison – Open Up and Say… Ah! LP Online Sale

Certified quintuple platinum, Open Up And Say…Ahh! remains the LA-based glam metal giants commercial zenith. Kiss legend Paul Stanley was originally in the frame to produce Poison s second album, but due to other commitments, Tom Werman (Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick) oversaw the sessions. The group s infectious metal hard rock sound was ideal for mainstream consumption in the wake of Guns N Roses similarly massive-selling Appetite For Destruction and the album went supernova commercially in 1988, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (behind Bon Jovi s New Jersey) and eventually sold over 8 million copies worldwide. It yielded four major U.S. hit singles including Nothin But A Good Time, Fallen Angel, the Loggins-and-Messina-penned Your Mama Don t Dance and (to date) the band s only American No. 1, Every Rose Has Its Thorn : a memorable power ballad with just a dash of country detectable in Bret Michaels emotive vocal delivery. Gatefold colored 180g vinyl LP reissue from Friday Music, mastered by Joe Reagoso.
