LITA FORD “Dancin’ On The Edge” /LP/

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal guitarist and singer.
Ford's second solo release after leaving The Runaways in 1979, "Dancin' On The Edge" features the debut of her new backing band, featuring drummer Randy Castillo, who would soon join Ozzy Osbourne's band, and bassist Hugh McDonald, who later joined Bon Jovi (McDonald had previously played with Jon Bon Jovi in the All Star Revue, the group that recorded the hit "Runaway"). It was her final release with Mercury Records, as she departed to sign with RCA Records in 1987.
"Dancin' On The Edge" surpassed the success of Ford's debut album, "Out For Blood", in both sales and airplay. It reaching No. 66 of the US Billboard 200 chart. Music videos for the Singles "Gotta Let Go" and "Dressed to Kill" received heavy rotation on MTV during the summer of 1984. "Gotta Let Go" was a minor hit in England, reaching #94 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Dressed to Kill" featured a cameo from Ford's then-fiancée, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. The album was also nominated for a Grammy Award in category of Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Ford toured relentlessly in support of the album for most of 1984, culminating in a pre-Headbangers Ball concert special recorded for MTV.
