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.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
