Little known fact-- "Welcome to the Jungle" was released before "Sweet Child 'O Mine", but only to AOR radio.  After the popularity of "Sweet Child..." on POP radio, "Jungle" was re-released to AOR AND POP radio.  

Hmmm... I was well into my 20s & was lucky to get an advance promo copy of the album as a "test market" and thought they were the greatest thing since Vaseline-in-a-tube.  Sadly, I got kind of burned out on them and sold that advance promo copy for $270 in 1992.  My favorite track was definitely "Mr. Brownstone", which you definitely did NOT play on the radio in the 80s.   8)

The first release in the U.K was a 4 track ep of 'It's so easy' I picked that up at the time from a bargin bin for 20p !?!  I also have a copy of the self financed issue of 'Live like a suicide' I wonder what they are worth now.........

Alright -

How many of you literally wore this cassette tape out like I did?  How old were you and what was your fondest memory associated with it?  What was your favorite song?

I was 12 when I got this tape and listened to it almost every single day until I turned 14.  I remember that I was late getting into it.  A friend actually gave me his copy of it because it had been out for a while.  I would always have it playing in my room, on my walkman.  I remember I had memorized every single lyric and would pretend that I was fronting the band and having a concert in my bedroom when noone was home.  Wow, I just admitted that. :P  My favorite song was "My Michelle" or "Rocket Queen".  I loved that song, especially the ending.
