As a fan of sleazy 80's flicks, it should be noted that he was also the vocalist on some of the songs for Savage Streets, a film starring Linda Blair that was pure Exploitation from start to finish. He was in contact with Mike Curb for that era before siging to RCA for this album, and it was just after his time with the Little River Band of the "We Too" era, meaning after the main hit-making days that still had a little gas in the tank. For some reason, I think he was trying to make an album that never was released with a number of the songs going into a couple of movies of that time.
Kind of odd that a couple of German Imports made it to a Small City Goodwill, but there you are!
Oddly enough, I found a couple of 12 Inch Singles at the Goodwill down the street from my apartments (same place as I found a CD of Metal Machine Music as well as The Sisterhood's Gift). One of them was "You're the Voice" and the other was the title track from the next album, "Age of Reason" where Farnham tries to get social consciousness into his music (YIKES!!!). The worst of the tracks was a cover of "Help" that turned the classic Beatles song into a slow drawn out ballad.
