TED NUGENT FREE FOR ALL FOC + Meatloaf 12" Vinyl LP Album

  "Free-For-All" is the second release from Ted Nugent and his first album to go platinum. Rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Derek St. Holmes left during the recording of the album due to growing conflicts between Nugent and himself, also citing the direction that the album was taking, as a reason. Holmes did sing on the tracks "Turn it Up", "Light My Way", "Dog Eat Dog", and an alternate version of "Street Rats", which was left unreleased until the 1999 Epic/Legacy reissue of the album. An unknown (at the time) vocalist named Meat Loaf was brought in to sing on some of the album's tracks that were meant for Holmes, Those tracks include "Writing on the Wall", "Street Rats", "Together", "Hammerdown", and "I Love You So I Told You a Lie". Nugent himself sang on the title track. Holmes would return to the group after the album was released for the subsequent tour.

  • Tom Werman – Producer

    Epic A&R turned hit-maker: the guy who helped polish hard rock into arena-sized trouble.

    Tom Werman, I think of him as the sonic chiropractor of late-70s/80s rock: he cracks the songs into place and suddenly the chorus stands up straight. He started at Epic Records in 1970, then left fingerprints on Cheap Trick (1977-1978), Ted Nugent (1977), Blue Oyster Cult (1979), and a long Molly Hatchet stretch (1978-1983). Then came the glam-metal fireworks: Motley Crue (1983-1987), Twisted Sister (1984), Poison (late 1987-1988), and Kix (1988). Tom Werman Wiki
