In 1988, the band was signed to EMI Manhattan , and they began recording their self-titled debut album Vixen , which was released on August 31. Singer-songwriter Richard Marx co-wrote with Fee Waybill and arranged their signature hit, “Edge of a Broken Heart” and produced the song. Marx had nothing to do with their follow-up CD, since he was becoming more of a mainline singer than songwriter. Vixen spent the next year touring the world, supporting acts such as Ozzy Osbourne , Scorpions , and Bon Jovi , as well as headlining their own shows. The band returned to the studio in late 1989/early 1990 to record their follow-up album, Rev It Up , which was released in July 1990. A year of touring followed, including headlining their own shows and supporting acts such as Kiss and Deep Purple . After the tour concluded in mid-1991, the group disbanded in 1992 due to musical differences.
