The final lineup was assembled in 1980. Cheater took Western New York by storm with it’s incredible live shows, crazy antics and the record release of the 10" EP “Ten Cent Love Affair. Cheater sold over 10,000 copies of this self released EP and performed 345 shows in 1981! The Album was only released in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio - USA, yet reports have come from all over the United States and Europe from Cheater fans and Jeff Cosco fans!
The band never released it’s 1983 recordings until 2005 on CD. Included are the first 4 songs from the original EP. This is classic rock at its best. Jeff Cosco, Don Mancuso (Lou Gramm Band), Chris Mawdesley, Kevin McKee, Blayne Pierce, and Ron Rocco (Black Sheep) started it all. In the later shows and recordings Jimmy Fox (Toronto) joined up.
Reunion shows and avid fans have kept this band going for over 25 years!

If you like Classic Rock, you need to buy this CD

Living in "ROCKESTER" since 1971 I started going out to listen to local bands play around town in the late 70's. I remember when Cheater started playing the circuit and it was exiting to see our "local guys" rock this town. You should have heard them do covers; they usually nailed them to a tee, especially Zeppelin! When this album came out all us Cheater fans were pumped. “Ten Cent Love Affair” and “Don’t Give Up” are both classics! Cheater's songwriting and talent were as good as any of their peers that made the big time. I have great memories of these guys, especially when they would play at the Penny Arcade… those were the day’s man!

I have seen this music performed live & in person and it captures the energy of the live performance. I love this CD !!! The vocals are fantastic, but show only a small fraction of the total ability of Jeff Cosco. This CD still sounds terrific and should be in the collection of all fans of at least 60's, 70's & 80's music. Ten Cent Love Affair, Times Square, What's On Your Mind, & Back Road could have and should have been HUGE HITS and several others - 39 Down, One To Go, Don't Give Up & Straight Jacket are very close also. I STILL love this CD !!! I must... I have several copies. *****A must buy*****
