This album gained the band immense popularity in Japan and was their first top ten hit.
The third album was released in 1981. The single "Goodbye Elenor" (with "Turn Back" on the B-side) was their first hit in Japan. The final track on the album, "If It's the Last Night," was also re-released as a single.
Although it was a hit in Japan, it peaked at number 41 on the Billboard 200. It was a commercial failure, with sales of only about 900,000 copies worldwide, and he was fired by his label. Apparently this was because, contrary to the trend at the time, he did not create a music video for MTV. A cover version of "Turn Back" was later released as the ending song for World Pro Wrestling (TV Asahi/New Japan Pro Wrestling broadcast).
