The Tubes'
first album for Capitol/EMI found them paired with up and
coming producer and songwriter, David Foster in search of a
more commercial sound. Many of their A&M albums had been
very strong but failed to ignite the charts or build much
fan interest beyond their rabid cult. The Completion
Backward Principle changed all that with "Talk To Ya Later"
(an AOR radio smash) and the chart success of the single
"Don't Want To Wait Anymore."
A favorite of many Tubes fans, this is a unique album in
their catalog in that it married their quirky songwriting
and stage persona with a commercial appeal that would be
emphasized more heavily on their next project. The breakout
that the band had been searching for with their backs to the
wall had finally arrived.
This newly remastered and expanded release includes B-sides
and the follow-up single to the album sessions. New liner
notes by noted rock journalist Brett Milano includes fresh
interviews with current band members Fee Waybill and Roger
Steen.
