They recorded Fool for a Pretty Face, which Marriott had written earlier and the song proved good enough for them to secure a recording contract with Atco[1] in 1980. In UK their material was released by Jet Records, owned by the former Small Faces manager Don Arden. The album peaked #60 on the Billboard 200 album chart[2] Fool for a Pretty Face was released as a single and reached #58 on the US singles charts and a promotional tour followed as part of The Rock'n Roll Marathon, supporting Ted Nugent and Aerosmith[3]
