Eat 'Em and Smile is the debut studio album by former  singer , released on July 7, 1986, after his unpredicted successful debut   (1985).

After releasing , an EP of lounge standards that became a surprise hit during early 1985, and subsequently parting ways with  while the band was at its commercial zenith, Roth assembled a new backing band: bassist  (later of ); drummer  (later of Ringo Starr's ); and virtuoso guitarist , who had played with , , and .

Roth later said that the songs written for the album were originally intended to form the soundtrack to a film, Crazy from the Heat, which was never made.

Both a critical and commercial success, Eat 'Em and Smile was praised by : "No song on the album was as slick as any of the singles from Van Halen's '' album" (which featured Roth's replacement, ) and also opined that Eat 'Em and Smile was much more "trashy fun".

Indeed, many of the reviews of Eat 'Em and Smile compared it directly with Van Halen's synth-heavy 5150, often favorably.

The extensive North American  ran from mid-1986 through early 1987.

The phrase 'Eat ‘Em and Smile' was part of a trademark registered in 1928 by the now-defunct Ward-Owsley Co candy company in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

This vinyl format is a must-have for fans of the metal genre and record collectors worldwide. 
The record is perfect for showcasing the intricate details of the album's artwork, and the vinyl material ensures that you'll enjoy high-quality sound.
