ORIGINAL ALBUM NOTES:
Recorded and mixed at Studio 55, Los Angeles
Special thanks to Michael Lippman and all the staff of Studio 55
CD REISSUE NOTES:
One Man Band: The Albums Of Leo Sayer - With two successful albums under their belts, 1976's Platinum seller Endless Flight and 1977's groundbreaking Thunder In My Heart, Leo and producer Richard Perry returned in summer 1978 to Richard's Studio 55 in Hollywood. With Leo now spending most of his time living in Hollywood the tone of the recording was very Californian. Richard was targeting U.S. radio and the sound was moving towards AOR (Album Oriented Rock). With the help of some of L.A.'s finest musicians and a collection of fine covers and original compositions, Leo Sayer stands up as one of the artist's finest works.
Ben Fong-Torres, who from 1969 to 1981 was senior editor and writer for Rolling Stone, one of rock's most influential publications, wrote a fascinating article, which the magazine published in its January 13th, 1977 issue, The article is printed on the inlay for Endless Flight (RPM SB 1004), A new essay by Ben is included on the inlay of Thunder In My Heart, reflecting on a meeting with Leo in San Francisco in May this year, the first time that these two friends had seen each other in 25 years.
The Other Original Albums Of Leo Sayer:
Silverbird
Just A Boy
Another Year
Endless Flight
Thunder In My Heart
Here
Living In A Fantasy
Have You Ever Been In Love
With sincere thanks to Donatella Piccinetti, Adrian Cornes, Richard Perry and Ben Fong-Torres.

Somewhat banal, but pleasantries are present
Review written by John Fitzgerald, March 12th, 2005 The songs Lindsey's on are the nice smooth and easy rework of Buddy Holly's "Raining in my heart", a nice reading of Jackson Browne's "Something fine" & the middle of the road "Running to my freedom". As a matter of fact, a few songs here have a slight country feel which may come as a surprise to those familiar with the hits from Sayer's "Endless flight" this makes an interesting follow up album as producer Richard Perry for the most part stays clear of the disco leanings of the smash hits from the previous album (although "Frankie Lee" & "La booga rooga" come pretty close) there's a rocker (well, it's harder than one would expect from Leo) called "Don't look away" and the album ends with a cover of Tom Snow's "No looking back" which is the mellowest moment and makes for an effective closing statement. You can count the clichs but given half a chance, a pleasant record.
