Album
Description / Collector's info:
"Look What the Cat Dragged In" is the debut studio album by the American glam metal band Poison. It was released on 2 August 1986, through Enigma Records and was produced by Ric Browde. The album contains ten tracks and has a total runtime of approximately 38 minutes.
The album features the hit singles "Talk Dirty to Me," "I Want Action," and "I Won't Forget You," which helped to propel the band to commercial success. The album's sound is characterized by its heavy use of guitar riffs, catchy hooks, and flamboyant stage personas.
The 12" vinyl LP version of "Look What the Cat Dragged In" features the same track listing as the CD and cassette versions of the album. The vinyl LP format allowed for a larger cover art and a more tactile experience for the listener.
The album received mixed reviews from critics upon its release but has since become a classic of the glam metal genre. It has sold over four million copies in the United States alone and has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA.
This album includes the original custom inner sleeve with album details, complete lyrics of all songs by Poison and band-photos.

Michael Wagener – Producer, Sound EngineerThe German set of ears that can make a wall of amps sound lethal, not muddy. Read more... Michael Wagener is the German-born producer/engineer who taught heavy guitars to sound huge without turning into soup. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s he helped shape Accept's steel-plate punch, then in the 1980s Los Angeles grind he became a go-to set of ears for Dokken—tight, glossy, and still mean. By the late 1980s he was guiding arena-sized hard rock for Skid Row and White Lion, and in the 1990s he kept that balance of bite and clarity alive for bands like Extreme. I can spot his signature fast: drums snapping, guitars spread wide, and reverb kept on a short leash. From his WireWorld room in Tennessee, he mixes like a craftsman: edges sharp, low end disciplined, vocals sitting just forward enough to start trouble.
Recorded at Music Grinder, Hollywood, Los Angeles
