Dokken will release an record titled “The Lost Songs: 1978-1981” on August 28th.
It wasn't always multi-platinum sales and stadium gigs for the band. There was a first-phase and there were early days, and it is those bold first steps to stardom which are celebrated comprehensively on “The Lost Songs: 1978-1981” LP.
Featuring sleeve art by renowned U.S. artist Tokyo Hiro (Motorhead, Motley Crue), “The Lost Songs: 1978-1981” demonstrates the drive of a hungry young Don Dokken as he embarked upon a journey which started in Southern California and Northern Germany. It is a trek which is testimony to the sheer endeavor and perseverance Dokken showed in those few years , starting from when he spent time at a guitar store called Drake's Music, owned by Drake Levin in Manhattan Beach, California.
