Throughout 1983 and 1984, the band toured across North America releasing their self-titled debut album in June, 1984. The album went Platinum and featured four hit singles: “New Girl Now,” “Burning In Love,” “Wave Babies” and “Stay In The Light.” Their second album, The Big Prize was released in February, 1986 … it also went Platinum and featured four hit singles: “Feel It Again,” “What Does It Take,” “All Along You Knew” and “Bad Attitude” which was featured on the series finale of NBC’s “Miami Vice.” That same year, they won a Juno Award for “Group of the Year.” In 1987, they released their third album, Racing After Midnight … a slightly harder-edged, more guitar- oriented album that spawned a European tour with Status Quo and a headlining tour across Canada.

  • Gonzo Weekly
    2 I have been the editor of magazines on tropical fish, exotic pets, UFOs, cryptozoology, and – of course – music, and there is something that I have noticed. Over the years various publishers have tried to get me to publish “thematic” issues, and this is something that I am loathe to do. For example, in a music magazine like this one, if I were to do a themed “punk” issue, it would immediately alienate all the people who like progressive rock. That is one thing that I am particularly proud of in this magazine; we cover anything, and everything, from anarchopunk to prog, and from folk to experimental jazz rock. In this specific issue there is everything from an interview with Barbara Dickson to articles about Rick Wakeman and Hugh Hopper. But, it is one of the more peculiarly Fortean aspects of magazine publishing that no matter how hard one tries, the vagaries of the space time continuum and Dear Friends, the very nature of the universe itself mean that no matter how hard you try to avoid doing themed Welcome to another edition of the Gonzo Weekly. issues, these appear of their own volition and the I have worked in publishing, on and off, since I first universe decides to present you with a theme, come edited my school newspaper at the age of 10, and what may. whilst I do not wish to claim that I am some sort of Citizen Kane-type publishing mogul, I have had a Once again, look at this issue.
