Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a period of massive transatlantic commercial success, this effort effectively balanced his boisterous rock and roll energy with highly polished, acoustic-driven ballads. The LP famously features 'The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)', a deeply empathetic, groundbreaking narrative song concerning the murder of a gay friend. The smash hit 'Tonight's the Night' further cemented his status as one of the era's preeminent pop-rock sex symbols.
