Ex-Burning Rome guitarist Steve Dougherty's AOR act Eyes was previously known as L.A. Rocks prior to the recording of a 1989 demo tape. Dougherty himself previously put down guitar on Berlin's smash 1986 album 'Count Three & Pray'.
L.A. Rocks became Eyes in 1988, leaving the door open for ex-Panther, Yngwie Malmsteen and Kuni vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (a former L.A. Rocks front man) to make a return. Eyes recorded an impressive demo tape that also found ex-Ratt and Rough Cutt bassist Matt Thorr involved. Keyboards, at that point, were courtesy of former Berlin man Todd Jasmin.

With Mick Jagger and Keith Richards bickering back and forth in the press during the mid-'80s (leading many to assume that The Rolling Stones were kaput), bassist Bill Wyman decided to fill up his newly acquired spare time by forming an all-star band, Willie and the Poor Boys. The group's roots lay in the series of high-profile 1983 ARMS Concerts (which raised money for multiple sclerosis research), which led to several of the tour's participants taking it a step further and laying down some tracks in the studio. Included in this stellar lineup were Wyman's Stones mates Ron Wood and Charlie Watts, as well as Jimmy Page, Mel Collins, Andy Fairweather Low, Kenny Jones, and Ringo Starr, among others, while Wyman also served as the album's producer.
