New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Motley Crue's 40th anniversary celebrations culminates with the digital remaster of their debut album Too Fast For Love, arriving exactly 40 years to the original release date of November 10, 1981. The legendary rock band's debut album was recorded at Hit City West Studios and made available via their own label Leathur Records. Eventually reaching Platinum status in the US and charting on the Billboard 200, the album was ranked #22 on Rolling Stone's "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time."
Too Fast For Love's was the first of seven consecutive studio albums to be certified Gold or Platinum for
