1988 Michael Ruff – Michael Ruff
This self-titled Michael Ruff album is his second studio album, a 7-track “mini LP” released in 1988 in a limited edition of 1000 cd’s (the back cover inlays each being printed with an individual edition number). The cd was distributed by the now defunct French record label LA Califusa. There were a further 2,000 or so pressed of the same disc that were put into slim cardboard slip-type covers mostly to send out to radio stations and distribute at Michael’s tours of the time. The latter had an alternative cover artwork with a photo of Michael holding a small keyboard device of some sort.
