Cool Feet - "Burning Desire" 1976 / "Mister" 1974 / "Alone in Your Cage" 1975

In 1968, Rich Ruppel (drums), Mike Nash (bass/vocals), and Romain Georgan (guitar/vocals) formed Cold Feet and played hard rock, at first, with English lyrics. 1974 saw the release of "Mister" b/w "Woman." Following, in 1975 was the "Alone in Your Cage" b/w "to Hell and Black" 7".
An LP self released by the band, appeared in in 1976, titled Burning Desire, and is believed to be a press of 200 to 400 copies.

In 1980, the band took kind of a pop/rock direction with a replacement singer and a released their first single with lyrics sung in German. The band continued to use German lyrics for the rest of their career.
After Guy Heintz joined the band in 1992, they released an e.p., Bistro, and saw a No.3 single with  "Drenkt E Pat Op Mech." They've released as many as 13 more CD's through 2001.

Burning Desire pretty much stands alone as the only album of it's type by the band. The opening title track, has many elements of early Iron Maiden (with an uncanny gallop and technical guitar leads), the rest has an almost Scorpions type feel to it, say from Lonesom Crow days.
Definitely a stand out release.
