Background
Cheap Trick's eighth album Next Position Please, is a return to the pop-oriented sound of In Color. It was produced by Todd Rundgren. The LP peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200 LP charts.
The album received favorable reviews upon release, and yielded the minor hit singles "I Can't Take It" (the only Cheap Trick song written solely by lead singer Robin Zander) and the Rick Nielsen-penned "Borderline", which was debuted on The Alan Thicke Show. The then-band members (Zander, Nielsen, Jon Brant, and Bun E. Carlos) consider it one of their best albums. "I Can't Take It" has become a concert staple over the years. Several of the album's tracks were re-worked older material, such as the title track and "You Talk Too Much."
Physical copies of the album were out of print for several years (with the exception of Japan), but as of April 6, 2010 it was reissued together with the previous album, One On One, on a single CD.
