Twisted Sister, although formed in the early ’70s did not gain label releases until the early ’80s. They formed in New Jersey but moved their base to New York City to help further their career. Their first album was released via an independent label. Their follow-up, You Can’t Stop Rock ‘n Roll was released via Atlantic Records in 1983. It went Gold and proved that the band were moving into their prime. Stay Hungry from 1984 catapulted the band into Platinum territory with over three million copies sold and worldwide acceptance. Stay Hungry gave us the anthemic “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, and the heavily played “I Wanna Rock”.
On October 4, Atlantic revisits the classic set of Stay Hungry by producing a 40th Anniversary set. This set will deliver the original album with a 2024 remaster and will provide two bonus tracks with “Never Say Never”, and “Blastin’ Fast And Loud”. The second disc will provide a live set from San Bernardino in 1984 with 9 performance tracks.
This 40th Anniversary of Stay Hungry will be issued as a 2CD package and DD for the digital platforms. Don’t discount a possible LP follow-up.
