Ratt - Success & Excess/Rarities Collection Part II (Full Audio Bootleg CD)

Just got this in today, but thought it'd be cool to share? Picked it up from an online Japanese shop.

I can't vet the disc, but the bootleg comes with decent packaging. Including a sleeve, as well as liner notes with pictures? The demos do sound like Ratt, but wouldn't be able to 100% guarantee authenticity. Nonetheless sharing the entire disc. Each track will be listed below, as well as including timestamps. In addition to this I've summarized out the notes for each track that was included. Keep it rocking my friends!

(1) 00:00 - Lay It Down (Guitar Mix - 1985)

'A never heard mix of this Ratt classic with a guitar-sound louder than on the original version.'

(2) 03:39 - She's Got Everything (Japanese Bonus Track - 1997)

'Japanese bonus track from Ratt "Collage" CD released in 1997.'

(3) 07:43 - Lovin' You's a Dirty Job (With Robert Mason on Vocals - Circa 2000)

'Robert Mason (singer for Lynch Mob and now with Warrant) was auditioning for the singer-role, when Stephen Pearcy had quit Ratt (in January 2000) and Bobby Blotzer & Warren DeMartini asked Mason to join the band. Robert Mason played a showcase for John Kalodner of Portrait Records and recorded a demo as well, but he ended up leaving and being replaced by Jizzy Pearl.'

(4) 11:08 - Run Around With Me (Unreleased Demo Track - Circa 1981-1982)
