Black List (L.A. Guns album)

Black List is the second of two L.A. Guns compilation albums featuring their third singer Paul Black. The album, released in November 2005, features material that were recorded by the band as demos, which were then provided to various record labels and venues. The recordings were made between 1985 and 1986, when Black was fronting the band. In the early 2000s Black was granted the rights to the recordings, following a court ruling, which lead to the release of the eighteen demo recordings not by L.A. Guns but as Paul Black's L.A. Guns. A number of the tracks, such as "Show No Mercy" and "One More Reason to Die" were re-written, re-recorded and included on the band's 1988 debut self-titled album.

AllMusic's Greg Prato states: "Black's vocals were reminiscent at times to those of W.A.S.P.'s Blackie Lawless, while the album-opening "Stranded in L.A." shows that the group was harder edged than the local competition at the time (Poison, Warrant, etc.)."
