Artist: Stephen Pearcy 
   Title: Before And Laughter
   Label: Top Fuel Records

The words of Mr Pearcy himself explain what this album is about, I quote "These songs are from my personal collection ... written by myself and some great writer's I've had the pleasure of writing with over the years".

Well that's what it is. Some you will already be familiar with if you are a fan, some you won't. There are original versions of some Ratt favourites which make for interesting listening.

This album lets us hear what Mr Pearcy is capable of as a song writer. If you're a diehard fan then this is an essential addition for your collection. This album is what I see as Mr Pearcy's time filler until the boy's from Ratt ask him to come back for the Reunion (Lets Hope). I see this as a wasted opportunity by him to bring out some new material and show the world he's still the showman he once was.
