Wild Cat

The debut album, released by MCA Records in 1980. It reached number 18, entered the chart on 30 August 1980 and stayed five weeks. It was recorded at Morgan Studios in London with Chris Tsangarides producing and Ian Cooper mastering; Robb Weir puts the work at thirteen days in the summer of 1980. Neat Records had wanted the album cut at their own Impulse studio in Wallsend, but Tsangarides refused and moved it to the room he was used to. The band on it is Jess Cox (vocals), Robb Weir (guitar), Richard "Rocky" Laws (bass) and Brian Dick (drums). The ten songs run from "Euthanasia" to "Insanity" and include "Don't Touch Me There", which had been the band's debut single on Neat the year before. The album is on no streaming service, so this page leads with the sleeve; the recordings themselves can be heard in the same running order as disc one of the compilation The MCA Years.
