Album Review
Quarterflash's debut album sported the fiery saxophone playing of lead singer Rindy Ross, helping it achieve platinum status, as well as posting two Top 20 hits. "Harden My Heart" reached the number three position in 1981, thanks to a complimentary blend of sax and expert bass riffs from Pilot's Rick Gooch. The second single, "Find Another Fool," was bolstered by Ross' high-pitched vocal attack, gaining a respectable number 16 chart position. While the album's novel appeal of having a sexy female saxophone player at the forefront was well worth the attention, it didn't mean the rest of the album lacked in pop attractiveness. Marv Ross' guitar playing is more than substantial throughout the nine tracks, making songs such as "Valerie," a song about the then taboo subject of lesbianism, and "Right Kind of Love" stand out, and ballads like "Critical Times"and "Williams Avenue" are typical keyboard-aided love songs. After this album, Quarterflash's allure began to fizzle, and the material on their next couple of releases lacked the contagious riffs or congenial radio formula that made this album a success.

Seems like yesterday....
by Kimo KarlThis Portland Oregon band was a sellout at the local bar scene in the early 80's under the name of Seafood Mama. They also performed at the US Festival. I still have this record in my collection. If you havn't listened to this lately check it out...great music!
well . . . . .
by dormie nineit ain't "good ole rock and roll", but it ain't bad . . . .
An 80's gem for all time
by Daniel JamesMany people immediately think of fluffy 80's bands when they think of Quarterflash and only remember the hits Harden My Heart and Find Another Fool. This album is so much more than those songs and displays a rather talented group of musicians and diverse blend of styles. If you only buy one song from this album, get Williams Avenue -- it's one of the best jams of all time! I'd give it five stars if only it wasn't such a poorly engineered album.
