Notes
Debut album by progressive rock supergroup Asia, released in March of 1982. Asia presents a hook-heavy blend of progressive rock and arena rock, and was massively successful on release, reaching #1 on the Billboard charts, becoming the #1 album in the United States for the year, as well as spawning a Top 10 hit (Heat Of The Moment) and a Top 20 hit (Only Time Will Tell). "Sole Survivor" was also released as a single, but missed the Billboard Top 10, although it reached #10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. Despite not being released as singles, "Wildest Dreams", "Time Again" (which was released as a B-Side), and "Here Comes The Feeling" reached #28, #43 and #40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. Music videos were created for all three singles, as well as "Wildest Dreams", despite not being released as a single.
A 30th Anniversary Boxed Set Re-issue of the album adds "Ride Easy", the b-side to "Heat Of The Moment", as a bonus track, as well as a DVD documentary about the band and several live unplugged appearances.
John Wetton's early demo of "Here Comes The Feeling" when he was a member of Atoll can be found on the CD re-issue of Rock Puzzle.

Who buys a 20-25€ reissue when there are tons of originals for 10€-15?referencing Asia (LP, Album) GHS 2008
Just purchased this used at a local shop. This sonically sounds great. Deep bass and nice separation on mids and highs. Thoroughly impressed with this, beats any CD copy I've ever heard.- Very detailed sound quality on this release. Pressing is fantastic too.
I made a needledrop of one of the tracks from this vinyl record - You can find it on the right side in the videos - Under the name:
Asia - Heat Of The Moment (1982 Japanese Vinyl) referencing Asia (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo) B0035176-01
Nice, flat and quiet pressing. No notes on the source. Could be digital. Can anyone verify? Regardless, it sounds pretty dang good and I'm glad to upgrade my original worn out pressing.- Solid pressing, mastered is well done, loud bass, kick Drum is solid and présent. Vocals are bright and crisp. The howe guitare is dominent. Really love this album.

I bought this when it came out on the strength of the two singles. It took a few more listens, but the rest of the songs on here are great. Stands up well today.referencing Asia (Cassette, Album) GEF 40-85577
