Fletchanator's comment: London were one of the pioneer acts of the Hollywood glam metal scene, having started in 1978, but are perhaps best known for the revolving door of band members who went on to bigger and better things with other bands. Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) was one of the founding members and others to play with London in the early days included Blackie Lawless (WASP), Fred Coury (Cinderella) and Izzy Stradlin (GNR). The line-up had become more settled by the time of their 1985 debut, Non-Stop Rock, and a year later they released this album (with Coury having left to join Cinderella and Morgan taking over on the skins).
In terms of sound, some of those aforementioned bands are a good reference. They mix the Sunset Strip sleaze rock sound of early Crue, Ratt, LA Guns, GNR etc, with the heavier guitar sound of WASP. The result is a kickass album in its own right - if you've never heard London before, you need to!
