This is my lest favorite cd with Kevin Chalfant on it. The production really bites and the so does most of the song writing. Like Shooting Star, 707 as never really been a group I have really liked or followed. The copy I have is the 2006 bonus track re-issue. If memory serves me right, the original came out in or around 82. There are several problems with this cd that I do not like. One the bonus material is pretty bad. The productions sound like it was pulled right off the LP and not remastered, has a very hollow and shallow feel to it. The songs are lame and the music is just about as lame. Kevin singing is not that good either. Sounds like it was cut vocally in one weekend, with Kevin having a cold and sore throat .

Having said that there are a couple of bright spots that save this cd from doom. Namely Can't Hold back and Mega Force. This very very seldom seems the inside of any of my cd players.

Well that was my old thoughts on the cd. When I recently got most of the 707 cds, I got the remasters of them. The production is better than on the orginal version of it. Kevin's voice, still not my favorite by him, is better. His voice seems richer as does the music, thus making for a better listen. There are actually a few songs that get repeated listens, Mega Force, We Will Last, No Better Feeling, and Can't Hold Back. Amazing what a remaster can do. This new release I have as a new cover and no bonus tracks (which were really a waste). The shorter cd works better. Still my least favorite cd with Kevin vocals. Plus the new cover bites big time!!
