Red, Hot and Heavy is the first full-length studio album by the Danish hard rock/heavy metal band Pretty Maids. It was released in 1984 by CBS Records. It is the only Pretty Maids album to feature Rick Hanson (ex-Shylock, later in Pentagon and Cold Drop). After the album's release Hansen was briefly replaced by early Mercyful Fate guitarist Benny Petersen, who moved on to start the band Jackal that released four albums.[4]

The song "Night Danger" was used on the soundtrack for the horror film Demons (1985) by Lamberto Bava. Red, Hot and Heavy was ranked number 437 in Rock Hard magazine's The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time in 2005.[5]
