The band signed with Atlantic Records and released their debut album Ratt in 1983. With that done, Out of the Cellar was released in 1984 to set the stage for their big hit. Out of the Cellar was still a remarkable album reaching the American Top Ten selling over 3M copies. The single Round and Round was a blockbuster.
