Billy Ocean – Love Zone (LP, 1986, Jive JL8 8409 / JL8-8409, CRC Club Edition)

Why This Record Matters
Love Zone includes some of Billy Ocean’s biggest hits, including “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going” and “There’ll Be Sad Songs.” It captures the polished synth-pop and R&B crossover sound of the mid-’80s.
