The Craving (album)

The Craving is the debut and only album by American rock band MD.45, released on July 23, 1996 on Slab Records, a subsidiary of Capitol Records. A remastered version was released in 2004 on Capitol Records which features the original vocals by Lee Ving removed and re-recorded by the band's guitarist, Dave Mustaine, due to Capitol losing the original vocal tracks.

Mustaine has stated that he replaced Ving's original vocal tracks "to entice interest from Megadeth fans who might have overlooked the original."[1]

The Craving did well considering there was no budget money for the promotion of the album, selling 35,000 copies first week. The album, as of 2014, has sold nearly 300,000 copies with the remix/remaster selling an additional 100,000 copies.
