was recorded and subsequently released as two double LPs, On Stage (1977, #65 on the Billboard 200) and Live in Germany (1990). In addition to the two double LPs, a six-disc CD box set containing music from the 1976 European leg, Deutschland Tournee 1976, was released in 2006. On the following album Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, released 1978, Carey would claim that nearly all the keyboard parts that he recorded, survived onto the final album. 1977–1983: Early solo years Carey left Rainbow in 1977 and moved to Germany in 1978, where he began work on his solo career. This was a period in his life when, according to Carey himself, he had health problems due to drug use and spent many 20-hour days in a recording studio (which he co-owned) with his friend and recording engineer Nigel Jopson. The studio's other co-owner, producer Peter Hauke, allowed Carey free use of the studio all night for several years, which gave him ample time and opportunity, and he subsequently recorded a great deal of instrumental music in many different styles, learning how to engineer as well as perform in the recording studio. His first solo album to be released was In the Absence of the Cat, in 1982, on the indie label X-Records. Records recorded 1979-1982 were never originally approved for release by Carey. Carey released I Won't Be Home Tonight, on the Rocshire label in 1982, along with the single (and music video) "West Coast Summer Nights". The album peaked at #167 on the Billboard 200, and the single peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The title track was also released as a single, peaking at #79 on the Hot 100 and #8 on Billboards Top Rock Tracks chart. Rocshire fell under hard times following the death of its promoter, Stacy Davis (who had appeared in the "West Coast Summer Nights" video), and was closed down a year later by federal agents following an investigation resulting in the imprisonment for embezzlement of the label's co-owners and seizure of the label's assets. The album rights and masters for I Won't Be Home Tonight were seized by federal authorities, and they remain the property of the US Internal Revenue Service. Carey found himself without a label. 1983–1985: Planet P Project, Geffen, and MCA Following the release of I Won't Be Home Tonight, Carey was signed to Geffen Records for
