REO Speedwagon Celebrates 30 Years of Hi Infidelity
Hi Infidelity is the ninth studio album by the American rock band REO Speedwagon, released in 1980. It was a huge commercial success, selling over 10 million copies and spawning four US top 40 hits, including the number one single \"Keep On Loving You\". The album is considered by many fans and critics as the band's best work and a classic of the 1980s rock era.
In 2011, REO Speedwagon released a 30th anniversary edition of Hi Infidelity, featuring a remastered version of the original album and a bonus disc with previously unreleased demos and live tracks. The anniversary edition also includes a booklet with liner notes, photos and memorabilia from the band's archives. The band also performed the entire album live on several occasions to mark the milestone.
REO Speedwagon is still active and touring, with most of the original members from the Hi Infidelity era. The band has sold over 40 million records worldwide and has influenced many other artists in the rock genre. Hi Infidelity remains their most popular and acclaimed album to date.Hi Infidelity was recorded at Crystal Studios in Los Angeles, California, with producers Kevin Cronin, Kevin Beamish and Alan Gratzer. The band wanted to make a more polished and radio-friendly album than their previous ones, which were more raw and hard-rocking. They also experimented with different sounds and styles, such as power ballads, pop rock and new wave. The result was a diverse and catchy album that appealed to a wide audience and showcased the band's musical versatility.
The album's title refers to the band members' personal lives, which were marked by infidelity and relationship troubles at the time. The songs reflect the emotions and experiences of the band members, such as guilt, regret, anger, love and hope. Some of the songs are autobiographical, such as \"Take It On The Run\", which was inspired by Cronin's suspicion that his wife was cheating on him. Other songs are more fictional or humorous, such as \"Don't Let Him Go\", which is about a woman who is too good for her boyfriend.
Hi Infidelity received critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Favorite Pop/Rock Album at the American Music Awards in 1981. It also topped the Billboard 200 chart for 15 weeks and stayed on the chart for 101 weeks, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. The singles \"Keep On Loving You\", \"Take It On The Run\", \"Don't Let Him Go\" and \"In Your Letter\" also reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with \"Keep On Loving You\" becoming the band's first and only number one hit.Hi Infidelity has been reissued several times over the years, with different bonus tracks and formats. The most recent reissue was the 30th anniversary edition, which was released in 2011 to coincide with the band's tour of the same name. The anniversary edition features a remastered version of the original album and a second disc with 10 previously unreleased demos and live tracks. The demos include early versions of some of the album's songs, such as \"Keep On Loving You\" and \"In Your Letter\", as well as songs that did not make the final cut, such as \"Only The Strong Survive\" and \"I Wish You Were There\". The live tracks were recorded during the band's 1980-1981 tour and include performances of some of the album's songs, such as \"Take It On The Run\" and \"Don't Let Him Go\", as well as some of their older hits, such as \"Ridin' The Storm Out\" and \"Roll With The Changes\".
The anniversary edition also includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes by Cronin, who reflects on the making of the album and its impact on the band's career.
