Back in the 1980's the Los Angeles rock scene cultivated
spandex, glam and big - make that HUGE hair, whilst in
New York a far grittier aesthetic was being honed; one that
would promote the hard working, hard living ethos of an
inner city blighted by forgotten neighbourhoods and low
uemployment. The perfect backdrop, in fact, for the
low-down high volume rock'n roll of no-frills minimalists
such as the Ramones, Raging Slab, Smashed Gladys,
Blitzspeer and Circus Of Power.
COP, as they were commonly known amongst friends and fans,
lived life on the edge; a trail blazing sound. Spotted by
esteemed NYC-based producer Daniel Rey, they were snapped
up, together with Raging Slab, by the giant RCA label,
creating one of the greatest debut hard rock albums of the
era. Raw, edgy and extremely dangerous, Circus Of Power╞s
debut album, originally released in 1989, is a seething
guitar-fuelled temper tantrum that remains as powerful
today as it was when first released.

24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 5 bonus
tracks, 4,000 word story of the making of the album, full
involvement by the band, rare photos, all spread out over a
superb 12 page full colour booklet.
