Riot "Archives Volume 2: 1982-1983 (CD+DVD, High Roller Records, HRR 554 CD)"

Among numerous other rare and unreleased recordings, »Riot Archives Vol.2« contains a song called Hot Life, which did not make it onto any Riot album, Rick Ventura believes it was written by Mark Reale. 

In addition to that, the record also features the original auditions for Rhett Forrester, with him singing Hard Lovin Man and Vigilante Killer, a real jewel plus an extraordinary 8-minute version of Loved By You. 

Rick Ventura comments: I know. It's so cool! Just one of those things.
