The Babys – Head First (LP, 1979, Chrysalis CHR 1195)

Why This Record Matters
Head First was the final studio album released by The Babys during their original run, balancing arena rock with polished pop songwriting. It includes “Every Time I Think of You,” one of the band’s biggest crossover hits. The album reflects the late-70s transition between hard rock and radio-friendly AOR.
