Just a heads up - went to Ebay - bought Wild Dogs CD -
2 records on one CD ! S/T (1981) & " Man's Best Friend " (1983)
well, turns out, the Wild Dog's singer was selling it !!
He also included a patch and another CD " DoctorMastermind "
Wild Dogs rock ! Perfect for cruising in the car with windows down -
Cranked "Born To Rock" driving past a cop doing road duty LOL !
Construction workers smiled also - WILD DOGS 69126

DoctorMastermind is damn good also -
I highly recomend this Ebay purchase for anyone -

Albums are good. If you don't mind CDr's then go for it.

Like Wild Dogs quite a bit. Already have them on vinyl and CD. Wouldn't mind having the patch. :-)

I have all the Wild Dogs albums on cd. Good stuff. I know Matt McCourt didn't sing on the third album, but I still like it. My CD versions are the "reissues" (wink, wink) from Old Metal Records.

I have this on Lp. I bought it from a buddy of mine for pretty cheap.

I was listening to Paul DiAnno's KILLERS release -
and some of the songs reminded me of The Wild Dogs -
and they do kind of do look like each other - slightly -
and their voices are somewhat simular - thought it interesting -

He probably takes many forms, like Keanu Reeves.

I'll have to give that a listen, I've never heard any DiAnno stuff outside of Maiden.

months ago i picked up the divebomb records reissue of Reign of Terror

much better than the old reissues

Wild Dogs are such a good band and that album will be my favourite from 'em with the two other ones no far behind.

I have two or three on vinyl from way back. Haven't listened to them in a long, long time.

Woman in Chains off Mans Best Friend is a frickin' metal classic!

Matt is a NWesterner and he was kind enough to get me a goody bag of releases about 10 years ago.

Picked up wild dog's double release s/t and man's best friend on one album yesterday. Amazing band. Way too underrated.

So if one were so inclined to check out Wild Dogs, would I start at the beginning or were they still "finding their sound" early on? Do I need to fast forward a few albums to get to the classic stuff? Any albums to all-out avoid?

Looking for recommendations.

Pick up their first three albums - Wild Dogs, Man's Best Friend and Reign Of Terror. They've released three albums since then but they were twenty years later and essentially Matt McCourt solo albums. I don't own them, but I wouldn't start with them. Matt McCourt is the lead singer on the first two albums and that's their classic Shrapnel Records era material. Those albums are straightforward, Priest-influenced metal. Their third album had a different lead singer and moved toward a more power/speed sound, and it's also quite good.

Agree with the above comment, this is still my favorite song, maybe cause it was my introduction song....

Start with their first three. Those are the ones i stick to.

I picked up the first three through CD Baby's $5 section a few months back. Really good albums. Those that came after didn't seem so great, and they, plus all the other associated albums by band members, all sounded like grade-school garage demos. No thanks!

That's what got me interested. I still get a little gun-shy when it comes to buying stuff from their $5 bin. I've been burned too many time on purchases that sound great at first but have no staying power.

That's the quality response I'm looking for. Thanks fellas.
