Cheap Trick in Internet
Not one of Cheap Trick's first three albums made it into the Top 40 in the United States.
In Japan, however, all three albums became gold records.
When Cheap Trick went to Japan to tour the country for the first time, in 1978, they were received with a frenzy reminiscent of Beatlemania.
During this tour, in April 1978, Cheap Trick recorded a live show for their loyal Japanese fans at the Nippon Budokan.
The show was released as a live album titled Cheap Trick at Budokan, which was intended to be exclusive to Japan.
The album suddenly became a popular import in the United States, and demand for the album became so great that Epic Records finally issued the album in the US in 1979.
Cheap Trick at Budokan launched the band into international stardom, and the album went triple platinum in the United States.
The smash track was the live version of I Want You to Want Me, which had originally been released on In Color.
It reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became Cheap Trick's biggest-selling single.
The second single, Ain't That A Shame, peaked at #35.
One song from At Budokan, Need Your Love, had already been recorded for the next studio album, Dream Police, which was released later in 1979.
The title track of the album was a hit single, as was Voices, but the work was panned by critics, many of whom expressed concern about an apparent decline in the quality of the band's material.
Dream Police also found the band taking its style in a more experimental direction by incorporating strings and dabbling in heavy metal on tracks like Gonna Raise Hell.
By 1980, when All Shook Up was released, Cheap Trick was headlining arenas.
All Shook Up—produced by former Beatles producer George Martin—reached #24 on the charts and was certified gold, but the album's high-class background didn't save it from descriptions like Led Zeppelin gone psycho.
Indeed, All Shook Up struck many fans of the band's earlier albums as too weird and experimental.
One song from the All Shook Up sessions, Everything Works If You Let It, appeared on the soundtrack of Roadie, and Nielsen and Carlos participated in sessions for John Lennon and Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy.
The Found All The Parts EP was also released in 1980 and consisted of previously unreleased material, including a faux live cover of The Beatles' Day Tripper. (*) |
