Air Supply – Hearts In Motion

An aberration in my collection, bought (for $1.99 - unwanted records are almost always in great condition) only to get their version of a song written by the guys in Mr. Mister. While researching which other albums Tony Thompson (Chic, Power Station) played drums on, I came across this again and realized I actually owned it. This was Tony's next project after Power Station - amazing. Produced by Bernard Edwards! ... The instrumental backing in "Put Love In Your Life" is a seriously funked up affair - the chorus however is pure Wonderbread-Air-Supply (if only one could remove the vocals).

A word on the mastering. I have set the counterweight on my trusted Technics SL-1210MK2 to 1.5 grams and this has so far worked with every single album in my collection (using a Grado Prestige Gold cartridge), except this one. Had to increase it to 1.7. I haven't come across this since buying the Killing Joke 'Love Like Blood' 12" in the 80s on my belt driven Thorens.
