The FIRST and ONLY independent release which was done while the band was still using the name "Mickey Ratt" at times, but the label and back cover say "Ratt". Fan club websites say it was limited to 100 copies, and very few have surfaced with sleeves. This copy was given out as a promotional item in San Diego, CA in 1980, at the young adult night club "Headquarters", that was located on Mission Bay Dr. (7", 45 RPM, Single, Test Pressing) ©℗ Pearcy 1980 SIDE A: "Drivin' On E" -Written By – Turner, Pearcy (2:22) | SIDE 1: "Doctor Rock" -Written By – Pearcy (2:40)The cover is in "fair" condition with minor expected wear (see photos), the sleeve is in "good" condition with no tears but the vinyl is "like new/ pristine" with zero scratches.
On July 3rd, 2023 Stephan Pearcy spoke on the origin of the "Ratt" logo with BraveWords.com Excerpts below:
BraveWords: Stephen, who drew the first Ratt logo? And who has the sketch?
Pearcy: "I did. I created all the Ratt logos. And it's quite possible that I do have the first sketch. The first logo is on this 45 single I released in 1980, that I gave to promoters to get gigs for Mickey Ratt. It's got Drivin' on E and Dr. Rock, and that's the first logo. I can actually show you if you want to see it."
BraveWords: Sure!
Pearcy: (Leaves the room for a moment). It would be this guy (shows sketch).
BraveWords: Dude, that was fast. You must be organized. That's awesome.
Pearcy: "Very. That's how I get shit done. So this was my first drawing of the logo. And then I made one, or I had somebody sketch up something, and the logo - I can show you all of these, but I won't - it looked like, I called it the Batman logo. It looked like the Batman logo. It's a little Aerosmith-y looking. And then I really created the R and the triangle A, and the two T's, and I started putting it all together, and I got it tighter and tighter, and got rid of the round, soft edges, and now you just have the Ratt logo with the points on each side. But yeah, it all started with that guy."
