I'd give almost anything to have my record collection back.

 

I'm trying to remember whether it was Kansas or Boston that had a really good album out in the early eighties that I liked a lot.

 

Does anyone here know?

 

Hum a little bit & I'll try & help you... ;)

Fone is wonky tonight

 

It shouldn't be hard to find. I think it was Kansas. I'll go on a fishing expedition and be back. :)

I think it may either be Vinyl Confessions or Drastic Measures if it's Kansas.

It wasn't either of those albums. I don't recognize the jackets. I'm checking Boston now.

 

But I did like Fight Fire With Fire a lot.
