The unreleased track set to thrill fans in the Out of the Cellar 40th Anniversary Edition
Ratt is once again electrifying the rock scene with an unexpected surprise for their die-hard fans: the release of Reach for the Sky, a previously unreleased track that’s been hidden since the band’s glorious ’80s heyday. This song, recorded during the legendary sessions for their iconic debut album Out of the Cellar, will finally see the light of day as part of the album’s upcoming 40th anniversary reissue.
Originally written in 1982, Reach for the Sky was recorded alongside the explosive tracks that made up Ratt’s 1984 debut. However, for reasons that remain unknown, the song didn’t make it onto the final tracklist. Decades later, this long-lost piece is set to shine as a standout addition to the much-anticipated reissue of Out of the Cellar, slated for release on November 8th.
Fans may recognize the title Reach for the Sky from Ratt’s fourth studio album, released in 1988, but this newly unearthed track hails from the earlier Out of the Cellar sessions, offering a raw and vibrant slice of the band’s most celebrated era.
This rediscovery is set to transport listeners back to the heart of the ’80s, with a sound that captures the essence of Ratt’s influence on the glam metal scene. Are you ready to experience this long-hidden relic? Mark your calendars for November 8th and get ready to rock out to this unreleased gem.
