Billy Squier * IN THE DARK * Original 45rpm with Original Picture Sleeve 1981 Mint New Pristine Condition. Capitol Records # A-5040 . A Side : In The Dark , B Side : Whadda You Want From Me . Along with arena rock bands like Loverboy, Journey and Night Ranger, Billy Squier served as one of America's prime '80s masters in the specific genre of keyboard-heavy hard rock. Such music enjoyed the benefit of great timing, as the popularity of new wave allowed an even wider audience for this strain of arena rock already palatable to rock and pop listeners. Squier was quite an underrated contributor to the pop/rock scene of the early '80s, churning out several solid singles without ever enjoying a Top 10 pop hit. This track from his 1981 album, Don't Say No, delivers on many levels, particularly through a keen melodic sense and a passionate, distinctive vocal performance. This track , with it's energy and distinctive howling guitar , transcends the 80's genre of Arena Rock. Vinyl is in Mint New Pristine Condition , and has never been played. Original Picture Sleeve also Mint New Pristine Condition ( see pics ). Ground-breaking Rock Guitar from a Master Rock Musician.
