album proper began in earnest at Sundragon Studios, with the group finally a
foursome. Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn acted as co-producers

needed overdubs. Sessions were halted when Ken Kushnick, Sire's European
representative, offered them a chance to tour Europe with the Ramones in order to promote their "Love → Building
on Fire" single. When the group returned to the US on June 7, they booked
a four-day recording session at ODO Studios in New York to record vocals and
overdubs, as well as to mix the album. The
