Don Dokken – Breakin’ The Chains (1981) [Expanded Reissue 2023] mp3+flac

Reissue release limited to 200 copies of the original album released by Carrere in 1981. This version contains different mixes and titles and clearly, in some cases, different recordings of songs from the later (1983) U.S. edition. "Paris Is Burning" is called "Paris", and is actually a studio version as opposed to the live recording in Berlin from December 1982. The album also contains a song called "We're Illegal", which later turned into "Live To Rock (Rock To Live)".
Whilst Juan Croucier is credited as the bassist on the album, Don Dokken has since said that Peter Baltes actually performs all the bass on this record.
This is the first reissue of the original recordings since the release of the U.S. version in 1983 which also featured a shortened band name as well as a slightly different titel. As bonus is included 8 live tracks recorded in 1983 at the Oasis in Sacramento CA.
