Thanks for this tip Robert; never knew it was reissued.

Steinberg's writing partner for 16 years (“Like A Virgin” their 1st hit) was Tom Kelly, whose 2 lps with Denny Henson as the group Fools Gold are 2 of my all-time faves.

Steinberg & Kelly also had a 1983 group called i-Ten, which tho more hard AOR, has some power-pop moments. Heart had a #1 with "Alone", originally from this lp.

Merry holidays,

  - Michael
