Victory
was formed in 1984 from the remnants of the band Fargo. Bassist Peter Knorn, the
two guitarists Tommy Newton and John Lockton and drummer Bernie Van der Graaf
had all previously worked together in that band. After originally working with
singer Pedro Schemm, and later Thunderhead frontman Ted Pullit, former Gary
Moore- and Ted Nugent-singer Charlie Huhn became the band’s singer.
After
the release of the self-titled debut album in 1985, the line-up changed again
when drummer Fritz Randow replaced Van der Graaf and Herman Frank replaced John
Lockton. The band’s second release ‘Don’t Get Mad…Get Even’ was released in 1986
and repeated the great success of their debut release. The single ‘Check’s In
The Mail’ became a big radio hit in the USA.
Today, ‘Don’t Get Mad…Get Even” is
a rare, long-time out of print collector’s item which now was re-mastered for a
re-issue CD release on Yesterrock by the kind courtesy of Universal Music
Germany.
