I enjoyed the music I was doing with Dave but he and I started moving in different directions and I felt like there was a larger, other world of music to explore. The concepts were bubbling over and driving me crazy. He rewrote the deal for a substantially better offer.

He seemed very enthusiastic about getting a record from me but also understood the DLR situation. I went back to Capitol Records to inform them of the additional delay but by then their entire staff had changed and the President of Capitol was now Joe Smith. After many delays, I would sneak a few hours in here and there on the recording but I was losing focus so I shelved it and concentrated on the Roth band. I was thrilled at the idea of having a label push my record and I started to work on it, but shortly after that I joined the David Lee Roth band and the solo record was put on hold. Most of the record company was at the gig and after the show the President of the label, Don Grearson, asked me if I would like to make a solo record for Capitol. We were signed to Capitol Records at the time. Sketches and concepts for the overview started as early as 1982.Īs fate would have it, I was touring with Alcatrazz and we were doing this gig at the Country Club in Reseda, California.
