Quarterflash's debut album sported the fiery saxophone playing of lead singer Rindy Ross, helping it achieve platinum status, as well as posting two Top 20 hits. "Harden My Heart" reached the number three position in 1981, thanks to a complimentary blend of sax and expert bass riffs from Pilot's Rick Gooch…
Japanese first CD pressing, issued and manufactured by CBS/Sony Japan in early 1983. This is Quarterflash's strongest CD. Although it doesn't have the smash hits of the first album, overall it is a better album. This album is 40 minutes long and has 10 tracks. 7 of those are very good. And of the three bad tracks, only one is horrible. The problem with Quarterflash's first album is that the bad tracks are so bad, it takes away from the enjoyment of the good stuff. On this CD, it possible to sit through bad tracks without suffering.

"Harden My Heart" reached the number three position in 1981, thanks to a complimentary blend of sax and expert bass riffs from Pilot's Rick Gooch. The second single, "Find Another Fool," was bolstered by Ross' high-pitched vocal attack, gaining a respectable number 16 chart position. While the album's novel appeal of having a sexy female saxophone player at the forefront was well worth the attention, it didn't mean the rest of the album lacked in pop attractiveness.
