Little Caesar is most remembered for their version of the soul music song "Chain of Fools", a 1989 hit single from their self-titled debut album.

John Kalodner did A&R work for the group, and Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue, etc_) produced their debut self-titled album, which was released in 1990 to positive reviews.

On the strength of the singles "Chain of Fools" (a cover of the Aretha Franklin song) and "In Your Arms", Little Caesar hit number 139 on the US Billboard 200 in 1990.

Lead vocalist Ron Young made a brief cameo in James Cameron's Terminator 2, as the biker thrown through the window of the bar by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The band reformed for some live shows in 2001, and released their comeback album, 'Redemption', in 2009.

They followed this up with 'American Dream' in 2012. "American Dream, the band's fourth full-length studio effort, and it delivers exactly what one expects from a Little Caesar release - a heaping helping of hard rock, blues and soul.

"Only A Memory Away" is arguably the best ballad Young has sung since Manic Eden's "Do Angels Die"_.It's back to classic Little Caesar during "Is Your Crazy Gettin' Lazy", one of the album's strongest tracks" Sleaze Roxx 'American Dream' has now been re-mastered and repackaged for this Limited "Deluxe Edition" re-issue, which now features four live 'American Dream' tracks including the standout track "Dirty Water".

This is the second in a series of re-issues coming through the bands new imprint label Dirty Deeds Records.

For fans of Little Caesar, Tora Tora, Rhino Bucket and Hard Rock!
