Though no official reason was given, rumours circulated that an ongoing legal struggle with bassist/songwriter Phil Soussan over his song 'Shot in the Dark' was responsible for the album's failure to be re-issued. Such reports are unfounded, as the only known legal proceeding between them was over an issue that was believed to have been resolved in the early 1990s. The only available CD version of The Ultimate Sin remains the 1995 remastered version, which is missing four measures of music between the first chorus and second verse of 'Shot in the Dark' found on the original CDs, vinyl copies, and cassettes.Track listing All tracks are written by, and, except where noted.
