Sign In Please is the debut studio album by American rock band Autograph, released on September 27, 1984, by RCA Records. The album features the band's only hit and signature song, "Turn Up the Radio".[3][4][5]
"Turn Up the Radio" was featured in a variety of media in coming years and is regarded as an '80s glam metal staple.[6]
According to lead guitarist Steve Lynch, the album took 30 days to record and master; "We were seasoned musicians in the studio so worked very fast and were always well prepared." He also noted that its major hit, "Turn Up the Radio", was recorded at the tail end of the Sign in Please sessions and that RCA didn't find it suitable enough for inclusion. However, after stern insistence, the band was able to get it on the album. Neither party, however, expected it to gain such critical success that led to the album's gold status in 1985.[7]
