On 13 June 1985, Ratt's second album, 'Invasion of Your Privacy', was released. The heavy metal band from San Diego (California), formed in 1978, had previously debuted with the eponymous EP in 1983, with which they were noticed by Atlantic Records, the record company that produced the second album mentioned here.
A curiosity of 'Invasion of Your Privacy' concerns the album cover. On it appears playmate Marianne Gravatte, who also appears in the video 'Lay It Down' (single from the album).
Ratt was the first band to use the presence of a model on the cover of a heavy metal album, opening a fashion in this respect.
