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
group had 22 songs to make the album. Finally there were 11, the rest came out
