Cruella was born out of the ashes of Xinr in the mid-80s, and they didn't waste much time chugging out some great power/speed metal. The interesting thing is that the first three Cruella recordings feature the same songs, and the same sequencing, but different recordings. There's a demo from March of 1986 that I'm still looking for, this demo from September of 1986, and the Vengeance Is Mine LP from 1988.
I contacted guitarist, Roger Decarlo, to get some clarification as to the differences between this recording, and the future full length. He said that this version of the songs was recorded in a cheesy 8 track studio in September of 1986 for a mere $300. Everything was then recorded again at a professional studio for $3,000 in August of 1987 for the Vengeance Is Mine LP that came out of US Metal Records in February of 1988.
Here is the full Power Metal recording from 1986. I gave it a slight remaster.
