Hit The Ground Runnin' is an AOR/rock group formed in 1985 in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. "Control Yourself" was originally recorded between 1990 and 1991 as an intended follow-up release to Hit The Ground Runnin's debut album, Sudden Impact. The band had opportunities in television/movies at the time, the song Back Again appeared in Rocky V, as did Surrounded By Fire for the movie Backdraft. The band was able to secure a record deal with a major label, but with the changing musical trends of the early 90s, the album was eventually shelved. The album was first released in 2001 on Smash Records. The original pressing was a hard-to-find collector's item in the AOR scene and fans have long asked for a re-release. Similar to the band's first successful release, Sudden Impact (1989), Control Yourself is released with new artwork and 3 additional bonus tracks: a previously unreleased song Melva Devine, a demo of Back Again with original guitarist Alan Augunas, and an alternate demo version of the song Pain. Another classic of AOR/Melodic Rock from Pride & Joy made available again.
