This is a typical UK 12" release, with a new song paired with known hits in an attempt to increase sales of the new song. In the UK, a 12 inch single was released of "Dancing the Night Away" backed with "I Want You To Want Me" and "Ain't That A Shame". The single "I Can't Take It/You Talk Too Much" was released on December 1983. The single "Dancing the Night Away" backed with "Don't Make Our Love A Crime" was released in August 1983.

This one of a kind tape was won by a fan attending Trickfest 2, and was of course, bootlegged shortly afterward! Instrumental, alternate studio takes of "I Don't Love Here Anymore" and "Invaders of the Heart" were released on a limited edition cassette known as the "Bun E.
It was originally recorded with Jack Douglas in 1980 during the "Found All The Parts" sessions but was never released. "You Talk Too Much" was an early Cheap Trick song from before the band's debut album. There was one video shot for this LP "I Can't Take It." "Twisted Heart" eventually surfaced on the box set Sex, America, Cheap Trick. Rundgren refused to produce "Dancing the Night Away," so the track ended up being produced by the band with Ian Taylor. The record was originally supposed to include both of these tracks along with two others called "Twisted Heart" and "Don't Hit Me With Love," but Cheap Trick's label at the time, Epic Records, forced the band to include a cover of The Motors' "Dancing the Night Away" and the outtake "You Say Jump" in their place. "You Talk Too Much" and "Don't Make Our Love a Crime" appeared as bonus tracks on the cassette version and later on the CD. The original vinyl record included 12 tracks. "I Can't Take It" has become a concert staple over the years. Carlos, Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander) consider it one of their best albums. The album received favorable reviews upon release, and yielded the minor hit singles "I Can't Take It" (the only Cheap Trick song written solely by lead singer Robin Zander) and the Rick Nielsen-penned "Borderline", which was debuted on The Alan Thicke show. The album cover is a parody of Bruce Springsteen's pose on the cover of Born to Run, with the title making a humorous correlation. The LP peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200 LP charts. Next Position Please is a studio album by Cheap Trick, produced by Todd Rundgren and released in 1983.Ĭheap Trick's eighth album Next Position Please, is a return to the pop-oriented sound of In Color. I love the way the thing just moves forward from the begining and then Robin comes in and nails a great vocal take. Nice crunchy guitars but not much of a song I'm afraid.įun song that was the first non-album cut that I ever heard from these guys.
More generic rock with way too many keyboards. Generic rock with way too many keyboards. Also does his "silly" voice on the line "I need a holiday" which I love. The b-side is slightly more interesting.Ī great example of Robin's hard rock vocals on display. Spring Break (b-side of single is GET READY) And the female backing vocals are horribly dated. Fave line: "I like the birds, singing in the trees, I like the girls, and they like me".Īlthough the band sounds alright there is no reason for this to exist. Sure the rockers are abit simplistic but the acoustic "Ohm Sweet Ohm" is lovely. I'd love to hear "Reach Out" with less keys and more guitars. Two great songs from a pretty strong soundtrack album (Blue Oyster Cult & Nazareth on a disc with CT? Perfection!)Īlthough the heavy keyboards seem strange, Robin's vocals are just great on these.
