Although KISS liked Vinnie Cusano, it was felt that his lack of height was a hindrance to joining them as a full-time replacement for Ace Frehley!  \\u2022Vinnie sent New England a tape of his songs, and an audition was set-up. New England liked what they heard on Vinnie\\u2019s cassette so much that they decided to learn the whole set of songs in preparation for Cusano\\u2019s audition. The four hit it off, but it was obvious that this was a new band, soon to be christened Warrior, \u0026amp; not just a seamless continuation of New England.   What we have here is a \\u201cwhat might have been\\u201d mini-album of previously unheard, original, classic hard rock by four respected musicians at the top of their game. As well as the original six studio tracks, we\\u2019ve been lucky enough to include five instrumental versions, plus a very rare rehearsal tape featuring the aforementioned Fergie Henrikson.\u003cp\u003eBOYS GONNA ROCK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIT'S NOT PRETTY (BEING EASY)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGYPSY IN HER EYES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBACK ON THE STREETS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI NEED LOVE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBABY OH WHY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBETRAYED\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOT NIGHTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBABY OH WHY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBACK ON THE STREETS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI NEED LOVE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBACK ON THE STREETS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGYPSY IN HER EYES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBABY OH WHY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOT NIGHTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBETRAYED\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55156437516673,"sku":"696920","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51uCzOxu0gL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767934009","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/696920","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
