It’s a record shaped like a rat(t)! Is there really any more that needs to be said? Also it has a hot 80s lady on the front. Saucy!
Great song from a very underrated band. Yeah, they might look absolutely ridiculous but their tunes were a step above the formulaic crap that a lot of the sunset strip era bands produced. The video features a creepy clown and an equally creepy boy (oh, and some men who look like women)

That looks awesome. When did you get that?One of the many reasons I love vinyl. You can’t do this with CD’s. CD’s killed great packaging.
As far as I remember I just picked it up on eBay some time in the last couple of years I would have thought. There’s another shaped Ratt 7″ that I’ve been meaning to grab for a while now but they usually go for a little over what I want to pay!
Totally agree on the CDs thing, it’s rare that anything special on CD comes remotely close to vinyl in terms of looks and awesomeness!
