Ratt’s self-titled debut EP from 1983, released on Time Coast Communications Inc. It predates their full-length breakthrough Out of the Cellar and is sought after by collectors, especially when autographed.


Pressing & Identification Details:

• Title: Ratt (Self-titled debut EP)

• Label: Time Coast Communications Inc.

• Catalog Number: A1 90245

• Matrix / Runout (Side A): ST-TC-845593-SP

• Matrix / Runout (Side B): ST-TC-845594-SP

• Deadwax Etchings: Handwritten etching matches original 1983 pressing.

• Track Highlights:

• “You Think You’re Tough” – later re-recorded for Out of the Cellar

• “Back for More” – same as above, early version here


This is a first and original pressing, identifiable by the Time Coast label and the specific runout markings (ST-TC…).


• Vinyl: Moderate surface scuffing, visually graded VG (Very Good) — playable with some noise but no major warps or cracks visible.

• Jacket: Shows wear along edges/corners and some creasing – graded VG-

• Autographs: Bold silver marker, well-preserved and highly legible – graded EX



Confirmed Signatures:

1. Stephen Pearcy – Lead Vocals

• Identified with silver marker and “’13” date

• Signature has flowing “S” and stylized loop consistent with his known autograph

2. Bobby Blotzer – Drums

• Marked with clear loops in the “B”s

• Autograph fits well with authenticated examples from the 2010s

3. Warren DeMartini – Lead Guitar

• Dated 2014, with signature matching his stylized “W” and signature tail swoop



Collector Appeal:

• These three members were the most visible and consistent figures in Ratt’s classic period.

• Having all three sign this rare Time Coast debut EP makes it especially valuable, both as a piece of glam metal history and for fans.

• Although Juan Croucier or Robbin Crosby aren’t visibly signed here, it still carries strong collector value due to the specific lineup represented.
