Editing Too Fast for Love (section)

==Release history==
The first recording session was in October 1981, a half year after the band first played the [[Starwood (nightclub)|Starwood]] nightclub. They recorded for a few days with engineer Avi Kipper at Hit City West, a small studio in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles.<ref name=Moskowitz/><ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/avi-kipper-mn0000064546 Avi Kipper | Credits | AllMusic<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

There are three known vinyl pressings of the [[Leathür Records]] version, along with one known cassette. The first vinyl pressing had white lettering on the cover and the record label was white with black lettering. The back cover photo of [[Vince Neil]] shows him with a large airbrushed hairdo. The second pressing has red lettering on the cover and the record label is again white with black lettering. The second pressing has a slightly different photo insert of the band. The third pressing has red lettering on the cover and the record label is black with white lettering.

The album was remixed under the supervision of [[Roy Thomas Baker]] and rereleased on August 20, 1982, by [[Elektra Records]], with whom the band signed its first recording contract. The Elektra version had a different track order and omitted "Stick to Your Guns", as well as the first verse from the title track. In addition, a re-recorded (and shorter) version of "Come On and Dance" appears on the re-release. However, the initial release of the album on Elektra in Canada (on both vinyl and cassette) was not the remixed version, but instead the original Leathür version with an Elektra label on it, and it included "Stick to Your Guns".{{Citation needed|date=May 2014}} This was released two months before the remixed version was released by Elektra worldwide, because Mötley Crüe was about to embark on a Canadian tour and Elektra wanted to ensure a product was available while the band was in the country. When the remixed version was completed, later Canadian pressings were the same as the Elektra version everywhere else. "It was amazing because everyone had passed on us first time around..." Neil observed in 2000. "We were just happy that someone was prepared to mass-produce our records and that we could go out on real tours."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Dave|last=Ling|title=We are lüdicröus!|magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] #12|date=March 2000|page=48}}</ref>

In 1996, Mötley Crüe and Elektra split. The band once again formed their own record company, [[Mötley Records]], and rereleased all the albums before ''[[New Tattoo]]''. The 2002 version of ''Too Fast for Love'' adds the Leathür version of "Too Fast for Love", "Stick to Your Guns" (omitted from the Elektra release), "Toast of the Town" (previously released as a B-side to Leathür's "Stick to Your Guns" single), the [[Raspberries (band)|Raspberries]] cover song "Tonight" and a live version of "Merry-Go-Round".
