MÖTLEY CRÜE released their debut album "Too Fast for Love" on November 10, 1981, as a 900-copy pressing on their own Leathür Records. Recorded in October 1981 at Hit City West in Los Angeles, about six months after the band first played the Starwood nightclub, it was self-produced by vocalist Vince Neil, guitarist Mick Mars, bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, with Michael Wagener among the engineers. "Stick to Your Guns" and "Live Wire" were the singles, alongside "Public Enemy #1", "Starry Eyes" and the title track. Elektra signed the band the following year and reissued the album on August 20, 1982, remixed, partly re-recorded and resequenced. Early reviews were mixed, but it eventually went platinum in the US and opened a run of seven consecutive gold or platinum studio albums, and Revolver, Guitar World and Ultimate Classic Rock have all ranked it the No. 1 glam metal record.
