“I like the record, and for a minute or so Robbin and I accomplished what we wanted to as best we could. That was to make a tougher album.“”
— Stephen Pearcy / RATT
June 19th 2026 — Los Angeles based RATT are celebrating another anniversary and this time it’s for their third studio release “Dancing Undercover.”
RATT were one of the most consistant rock bands during the 80’s releasing several platinum albums one right after the other.
It was also a time when MTV was at a fever pitch and the decade was in full effect with RATT contributing to radio, print and television appearances that saw them rise to the top of the charts.
The band’s 1986 “Dancing Undercover” has now been reissued for the album’s 40th Anniversary and they’ve added some cool tweaks to make it a must have for collectors.
Below is a official presser detailing the up coming release.
BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, announces the release of the 40th Anniversary of Ratt’s third studio album, Dancing Undercover, in a limited edition zoetrope, to be released on July 31st 2026
This Limited Edition Gatefold LP features reimagined cover artwork, and a zoetrope vinyl with moving images of the iconic band’s logo and the members themselves, all housed in an opaque bag.
“With “Dancing Undercover”, mostly Robbin and I, wanted to get back to a place between the Ratt EP and “Cellar” records. The other guys might think differently and maybe the cracks were starting to happen, but all of us were all over the songs. I like the record, and for a minute or so Robbin and I accomplished what we wanted to as best we could. That was to make a tougher album. We were so committed to doing shows at that time. It was finding time off for writing and preproduction”. SEPearcy, founder lead singer songwriter of RATT.
Formed in Los Angeles, RATT was featured as an unsigned act on Uncle Joe Benson’s Local Licks Drive Time Show on KLOS-FM. This was their first time on radio and led to their signing to Atlantic Records.
RATT exploded on to the national scene in 1984 with the release of ‘Out Of The Cellar.’ Featuring an undeniable hook and legendary music video, lead single “Round And Round” hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, while ‘Out Of The Cellar’ reached #7 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified triple platinum. Two more charting singles followed with “Back For More” and “Wanted Man”. RATT started the tour as an opening act, but by the end of the tour had climbed to arena headliner.
RATT returned in 1985 with their 2nd full length album, ‘Invasion Of Your Privacy.’ Certified double platinum and also reaching #7 on the Billboard Top 200, ‘Invasion of Your Privacy’ also featured the classics “Lay It Down” (#40 Billboard Hot 100) and “You’re In Love”.
