Tucked in among the hits on Open Up and Say... Ahh!, Poison's second studio album, "Look But You Can't Touch" carries a writing credit shared four ways, by Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett. Tom Werman produced it and mixed it with Duane Baron, who also engineered, and John Purdell.
The album came out on Enigma and Capitol in April 1988 and turned into the glam metal band's biggest record, climbing to number two on the Billboard 200 and throwing off four hit singles, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" among them. This song wasn't one of the four, but it rode along on an album that had gone five times platinum by 1991.
