Trash - Burnin' Rock - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

NEW MASTERING - FULL BOOKLET WITH PICS AND LYRICS. TRASH, an old-school hard rock band, was formed in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1982 by guitarist Mike Mocadem (aka Mikael Mujanne) and singer Ron Taylor (real name Tony Hellander).

Although the drummer and bassist were different from those on InchWatch OutInch, they packed a dark, wet heavy rock of immorality and decadence into InchBurnin' RockInch, which was released a few years later on Atlantic Records. Renowned producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Bad Company, Savatage, Loudness, etc...) was in charge of the album's worldwide . Although it led to a US
