As requested, here’s another installment from the Sony Music Japan fantastic series of PRETTY MAIDS albums for the first time remastered and pressed on High Quality Blu-spec CD2 format. “Red, Hot and Heavy“ is Pretty Maids thunderous debut LP, now sounding in all its glory.

With their ’83 self-titled EP, Danes Pretty Maids managed to snag something the grand majority of bands pine for: major label notice. Well, they got signed by CBS Records.
“Red Hot and Heavy” is the band’s full length debut, a killer mix of Euro mid-80s metal and catchy melodies.
The album opens up dramatically with the beginning to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana – that is ‘Fortuna’, a pretty popular piece that is used in a lot of movies.
It then jumps right into one of the best song on this album, ‘Back to Back’, a fast paced tempo metallic tune to bang your head.

And what follows is on the same level; a great crunchy guitar sound, on the money vocals, and one of the most pounding n’ locked in rhythm sections I have ever heard.
Another strong number is the title track, with some serious fist pumping credibility, a very strong chorus and anthemic vibe.
