accordance with Stanley's unique real-life references. In line with the previous and future MSB platters, the Raleigh-penned song "One of Those Dreams" is bolstered by a blistering sax line by Bell. The LP lead vocals/main writing credits are equally divided (five and five) between group dominants Stanley and Raleigh. Continued singles success Following in the tradition set forth by the two previous LPs, this record highlights two more of the band's top selling singles of all time. Raleigh's "When I'm Holding You Tight," which was coupled with Stanley's guttural self-letter-styled song "In Between the Lines," was the first of the two. The single hit the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982, charting at more-than-acceptable #78. Incidentally, "In Between the Lines" is to this day a live favorite with audiences. The track features a beautiful piano lick by Bob Pelander and iconic Stanley growl style vocals, shouting out "some six-string, front-page temporary loss of sanity.....but you ain't reading, baby, in between the lines." The song is a farewell open letter to John Lennon (who died in 1980). Michael Stanley said he wrote it almost as a nod to himself for finally achieving his dream of becoming a famous singer/songwriter, thereby following the steps of his much more successful hero John Lennon of the universally renowned Beatles. The second single features the second Stanley-scored offering, called "Take the Time," which hit the charts and peaked at #81 in mid-1983. The song was well-received and a companion MTV video was produced to bolster the sales of the song. The song was a cautionary tale about not rushing into judgement over decisions of love and life in general. The A side was backed with- as was the custom on this album- a strong Kevin Raleigh tune called "Just a Little Bit Longer."
