ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Pressing Features:

Journey's eighth album, released in July of 1981, generally considered the band's breakthrough album, launched them from moderate success to superstardom. 
Upon retiring from the band, keyboardist and vocalist Gregg Rolie recommended The Baby's Jonathan Cain as his replacement. Cain developed a songwriting partnership with vocalist Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon that pushed the band in the direction of hook-heavy arena rock. The album was a massive hit on release, reaching #1 on the Billboard charts, and three Top 10 singles (Don't Stop Believin', Who's Crying Now, Open Arms) and two Top 20 singles (Stone In Love and Still They Ride).

Title also known as E5C4P3 

Issued with embossed sleeve cover and b&w lyric inner sleeve.
