Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know was the second album released by The Cross in 1990. Unlike the previous album, they decided to abandon the dance influences and recorded a straight rock album. This was also the first album to which each member of the band contributed. Roger's contributions to the record were considerbly smaller, because he was busy to promote the miracle. Another unicom was that one of band members (Clayton Moss) sang lead vocals on one of tracks, instead of Roger. Unfortunally like Shove it, the album sold poorly and EMI records decided to drop them so they had no label anymore in the U.K.
In Germany, they released a limited box set (only 50 were made) which contained a cd single, video, stickers and press info.[1]
