SEAHAGS SEA HAGS - S/T SELF-TITLED 12" Vinyl LP Album

- Genuine UK Pressing

  Sea Hags is the self-titled debut album by the American glam metal band Sea Hags, and remains their only album. The front cover of the Sea Hags' self-titled debut album, released in 1989, features a bold and graphic design. It depicts a close-up of a woman's face, her eyes and mouth obscured by swirling, colorful flames. The woman's hair is long and flowing, and she is adorned with large, silver earrings. The background is black, and the overall effect is both striking and unsettling.

SEA HAGS' Self-Titled Debut: A Fiery Blast from the Sunset Strip
Album Description:

Emerging from the vibrant Sunset Strip scene in the late 80s, Sea Hags unleashed their self-titled debut album in 1989, a raw and energetic hard rock offering that captured the spirit of the era. While their flame burned brightly but briefly, the album remains a snapshot of a band brimming with potential.

Historical Context

The late 80s marked a transitional period for hard rock. Hair metal's dominance was beginning to wane, making way for a rawer, more aggressive sound. Sea Hags rode this wave, their music echoing the bluesy swagger of Aerosmith and the sleazy grit of Guns N' Roses, yet with a distinct identity rooted in the Sunset Strip's vibrant scene.

Musical Exploration

Sea Hags' self-titled album is a 10-track journey into a world of hard-hitting riffs, soaring vocals, and anthemic choruses. Tracks like "Half the Way Valley" and "Doghouse" showcased their ability to craft catchy hooks, while "Sea Hags" and "Too Much T-Bone" unleashed their heavier side. Rob Yocom's powerful vocals and Chris Schlosshardt's rumbling basslines provided a solid foundation, while Frankie Wilsey's guitar work, both fiery and melodic, added a distinctive edge.

Production Team and Studio

The album was produced by Mike Clink, known for his work with Guns N' Roses. Clink's signature sound, a blend of raw energy and polished production, can be heard throughout the album. Recording took place at Rumbo Recorders, a legendary studio that had hosted countless rock icons.

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, New York City, New York

  • George Marino – Mastering Engineer

    When my site brain goes full 1980s metal mode, his name keeps showing up like a hidden signature in the dead wax.

    George Marino is one of those behind-the-glass legends who made heavy music feel larger than the room it was playing in. Before the mastering console became his throne, he was a Bronx guitarist doing the NYC band grind in the 1960s with groups like The Chancellors and The New Sounds Ltd. Then he went pro for real: starting at Capitol Studios in New York (1967), and eventually becoming a long-running force at Sterling Sound (from 1973 onward). For a collector like me—living in that sweet spot where 1980s heavy metal, hard rock, and a dash of prog-minded ambition collide—Marino’s credits read like a stack of essential sleeves: Holy Diver (Dio), Tooth and Nail (Dokken), Stay Hard (Raven), Master of Puppets (Metallica), Somewhere in Time (Iron Maiden), Among the Living (Anthrax), Appetite for Destruction (Guns N’ Roses), Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi), and Blow Up Your Video (AC/DC). That’s the kind of resume that doesn’t just “master” records—it weaponizes them, but with taste. George Marino Wiki
