Rick Springfield - Rock Of Life (1988) Japanese Press

Rock of Life is an album by Australian singer-songwriter Rick Springfield. It was released on RCA Records in 1988. The disc peaked at a modest #55 on the Billboard album chart, selling approximately 350,000 copies in United States. It was the least successful of Springfield's six RCA releases.

I was a heavy metal child of the late 70's and early 80's. Back in high school our crowd laughed at anyone who listed to a soap opera singer like Rick Springfield. Then one day in 1989, I was browsing the cd racks at a new locally owned music store. The guy behind the counter was playing Rock of Life on the music store loudspeakers. I didn't know who it was, but I stayed and browsed though the entire cd. When it was over, I went over to the record store employee and asked him who that was he was just playing? I made some kind of statement about it not really mattering because it was so good, I was buying a copy regardless of who the artist was. The guy handed me a copy of Rick Springfield's Rock of Life. I just about passed out. I could not believe it, but here I was about to buy Rick Springfield CD. I did and I still listen to it today. It is fantastic. If you are a rock and roll fan, this one should be in your collection. I also highly recommend S/A/D/A Rick's 2004 release. It is just as good as Rock of Life and it rocks a lot harder.
