In 1983 the band released their first independent and self-titled EP. This EP that aroused the interest of Atlantic Records. Which released the album Out of the Cellar in 1984. On the tour of this album, Ratt did 320 shows in 14 months. The album contained the track “Round and Round”. That was included deacades later in the electronic games Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and
