Gotta love "Holding Back", "Fancy Dancer", and "Starcruisin'". Really great LP as a whole.

Ever have an album you love so much you rarely play in order to "make it last longer?" This is such an album for me. "This Side of Midnight", "Too Hot to Reggae" and the thrilling closer, "Arista Vista" are so melodic, well arranged, well played and well produced that I'm unable to control my emotions whenever I play them. If I had enough money to start my own record company (which I've thought about several times) this is one of the FIRST CDs I'd like to release
