This album was given to my step-sister on christmas day 1981. I got a copy of the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up" on 45. Proving that my dad and step-mom loved my sister more, or they got a deal on a 2 year old album. We were 9 years old.
We played both on our new portable record player a LOT.

This was a huge tonal shift from the previous album. I'm edging up a point, because I can tell if I listened through a few more times, in a few more moods, it would speak to me in totally different ways.
