The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Comprised of founding members Bret Michaels, Rikki Rockett, Bobby Dall and C.C. DeVille, Poison is one of Hard Rock’s truly iconic and enduring bands with sales of over 50 million globally with 15 million in the U.S. alone.
Vocalist Bret Michaels described the record as a "glorified demo". It was recorded in twelve days at Los Angeles' Music Grinder Studios with producer Ric Browde, for a cost of US $23 000, part of which was funded from the pockets of the band members and their families.
Though the album not a success at first, it steadily built momentum and peaked at #3 on the US Billboard 200 on May 23, 1987. "Look What The Cat Dragged In" introduced the world to the band’s Sunset Strip sound and became a surprise success. Launched with the single "Cry Tough", the album spawned three successful singles: "Talk Dirty to Me", "I Want Action", and "I Won't Forget You".
"Look What the Cat Dragged In" peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200, was certified Gold in 1987, and went 3x multi-Platinum in 1990 by the RIAA. It has also been certified Silver by the BPI, and Platinum in Canada.

The fourth live album by the legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Live at Hammersmith Apollo, London, 23rd April, 1993. It was originally released on VHS in 1993 and then on DVD in 2006. In 2008, an audio CD was released from the same 1993 concert. The tracklisting is the same as the DVD with the exception of an additional track, "Your Mama Don't Dance".
"Seven Days Live" include Poison's biggest hits such as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", "Talk Dirty To Me" and "Unskinny Bop". The sound quality is decent. This is the only recording of the Richie Kotzen era, so it is historically important. The band's performance is solid, and on its own merits it's a good CD.
No nonsense and no holds barred, Seven Days Live is a superbly produced live album! This is vintage stuff from 1993, with Poison pretty much in their prime. Bret Michaels is a fantastic frontman/singer and he and drummer Rikki Rockett, Bobby Dall on bass and C.C. DeVille's replacement, Richie Kotzen, on guitar rock out and rock out hard! This was, obviously, the Native Tongue tour, and since Kotzen wasn't going to last with the band, it's an even more important document of a brief moment in the Glam band's career!
