Breaking The Chains (Audp) (Gol) - Dokken (Vinyl) (Limited Edition) (180 Gram)

Limited 180gm gold colored vinyl audiophile pressing. Dokken absolutely exploded out of the hotbed that was the hard rock and heavy metal scene in Los Angeles, California in the early '80s. Originally issued on French label Carrere Records in 1981 and then remixed and remastered for proper distribution by Elektra in 1983, the band's solid debut album Breaking the Chains features the short lived but lively line-up of Don Dokken (vocals), George Lynch (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass) and Mick Brown (drums). The era encompassing title track "Breaking the Chains" and the Lynch starring live cut "Paris Is Burning" are the show stealers here.
