Released in November 1981, Too Fast For Love ignited a global rock revolution. Combining raw punk speed, heavy metal riffs, and glam swagger, tracks like "Live Wire," "Piece of Your Action," and "Public Enemy #1" completely rewrote the blueprint for eighties hard rock.
Now, we are celebrating the monumental 45th Anniversary of the album that started it all. We aren't doing a rigid sit-down playback for this one—we are turning the shop into an all-day celebration, and you are invited to come party with us.
The Event: A Come-and-Go Anniversary Celebration
This is an open, come-and-go event where you can pop in anytime during store hours to hang out, dig through the crates, and celebrate the record that birthed glam metal.
