mega thanks. i’ve been looking for this forever for the bonus track. had it on tape back in the day. still can’t open your files (i know about dl the program required to do so) but atleast i got it. thanks.
This version is the only way to hear this tune. Yes, it’s 80’s excess with the reverb & gated drums but it simply rocks. Crank It up!!

Thanks for this killer single from Dokken!! I know this is a Halloween-themed post, but I love when you sprinkle in AOR in your posts!
You’re welcome Retro Hound I always enjoy mixing things up 🙂
Thank you.
Cool!!!
Thank you 🙂

Thanks Paul for part of the soundtrack 🙂
You’re welcome Mark :0
Thanks for sharing Paul, I always liked this track. Such an evocative sound, quintessentially 80s rock/metal. The film is a lot of fun too, although it did terrify me as a kid!
You’re welcome Jon 🙂
