Dirty Looks - Dirty Looks (1985)

Dirty Looks (1985 - Axe Killer Front Cover)
This is the Axe Killer Records re-released version of the self-titled LP. Track listing and credits are the same on both releases. 'Get Ready' was re-worked as 'Last Call Sally' for the Rumbledog album.

Genre: Hard Rock


TRACKLIST:

Dirty Looks (1984 Sticky Front Cover)
This was made while Henrik had his band in San Francisco. Tracks 1,4,5 and 9 turned up again on 'In Your Face'. This was re-released in 1985 by Axe Killer Records in France. 'Get Ready' was re-worked as 'Last Call Sally' for the Rumbledog album.

Dirty Looks - In Your Face (1986)

Genre: Hard Rock

TRACKLIST:

This one was recorded back in PA. Here we have tracks 2,4,6,8,9 and 10 resurfacing on the 'I Want More' album and 2,4,5,6 and 9 eventually making it onto the 'Cool From the Wire' album. I was surprised that some of the other tracks didn't show up on later albums, espcially 'She's a Rocker', 'On Your Back', and 'Undercover'.

Dirty Looks - I Want More (1987)

Genre: Hard Rock


TRACKLIST:

This one was released by the French label 'Storm'. Most of these songs made it onto 'Cool From the Wire', although track 1 didn't find its way to the public again until 1995 (Rip it Out). Again, I'm surprised 'Undercover' didn't end up on a later release.
Back cover has Jack Pyers last name spelled 'Pyres' and Paul Lidels last name spelled 'Liedel'.
When I first heard this , I was surprised at how good the album sounded..
These versions have a rougher / heavier edge than the ones that made it onto 'Cool from the Wire'
Per Gene Barnett, the back cover picture of Paul Lidel is actually a picture of the guitar player Paul replaced, Chris Bensch
Per Chris Bensch, on that same picture of Chris is actually A.D. Adams on drums (with the sweat band).

The original sessions for this album were done with Beau Hill producing and Chris Caffery joining to do some guitar work. Apparently, the band sacked Mr. Hill and went with Jon Janson to provide a 'harder edge' and by that time, Chris was back in Savatage.
If anyone has a copy of or heard the original sessions, please email me. I'd like to know how much different these were and was the track listing any different?
-- update from Mr. Barnett himself: "HUGE difference from what we put out with Jon Janson. Beau is great at what he does, but he tried to make Dirty Looks sound like something it wasn't. Way too polished, with these incredible backing vocals that we would've had to sample live and that wasn't ever going to happen"
Videos were made for 'Nobody Rides For Free' and 'Go Away'. 'Nobody rides' being their biggest video, staying in MTV's Hard 30 countdown for quite awhile.
