The Seventh One

The best period of the band start with "Toto IV" and finished with this album, Joseph Williams on vocals. Include hits "Pamela" & "Stop Loving You". One of the best AOR Rock classics from 1988.

This is a standard pressing and not 180 grams! I have asked for this and the other Toto albums to be corrected and no one has responded. Just want you to know upfront and you aren't getting a great deal on 180 grams like I thought I might.Audio quality is standard nothing special over original pressing, the original had nice bass response and was cleanly produced album, channel separation is normal nothing new in this remaster. It sounds good but even after cleaning before playing there are some ticks and pops in it on certain tracks. Up to you if you want to spend the money for it.Inner sleeve is heavy duty paper but record must have slammed into it at record plant. Bottom is torn as you can see from picture.

The Seventh One is the group Toto's seventh studio album, hence the title. It featured the hit single Pamela, which made it to #22 on the Billboard charts. It was the second album with Joseph Williams on lead vocals, until their new album Toto XIV, this year. I got the cd, here on Amazon, and a free digital album is included. It was released in 1988, and produced, and recorded by Toto, George Massenburg, and Bill Payne. Toto on the Seventh One included Steve Lukather-guitars and vocals, David Paich-keyboards and vocals, Mike Porcaro-bass, Jeff Porcaro-drums and percussion, Steve Porcaro-synthesizers, and programming. It is worth.noting here, these musicians, some of the very best in the business, have played on numerous albums as studio musicians, from Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Pink Floyd, Boz Skaggs to name a few. Included on the album are top vocalists Tom Kelly, Patti Austin, and Jon Anderson (Yes) on Stop Loving You, and Linda Ronstadt on Stay Away. Toto horns -Tom Scott, Jim Horn, Jerry Hey, Chuck Findley, James Pankow, Gar Grant, Gary Herbig, also some of the very best horn players appear on the album. Percussion specialists are Lenny Castro, Michael Fisher, Jim Keltner, and Joe Porcaro. David Lindley plays lap steel on Stay Away, and Andy Narell-Steel drums on Muschanga.

Look gotta be honest, this album has some manufacturers defects in the album pressing. It has skips on Side 1 first song. I ordered a replacement and it did the same thing as the first song album I had purchased. Don't know why it's 😕 not the best for my Turntable needle.

It’s Toto. You like them or you don’t. Great musicians, not everyone cares for their style. People would probably be surprised who’s album’s they have played on.

This Toto album gives a different example of what these guys can accomplish. Writing music that was suited the era while keeping the essential flavor that is Toto. You can see their musical progression from their debut album in 1978 to this appropriately named seventh album ten years later. Catchy, well written tunes with a subtle layer of complex arangements, shots and modulations that give the songs an ora of musical sophistication while being, on the surface, easy enough for everyone to relate to (not just to over-analytical music geeks like me).

A wonderful collection of tunes from Toto, though not their best work. Popular songs, Pamela, Stop Loving You and Home of the Brave are on this CD first released in 1988. Whether your a long-time Toto fan or not, this is rock music at its finest from one of the best bands ever.

The great cuts are great..the filler, well, they're filler

Awesome album

Great

great music

Zum musikalischen Potential der Alben von Toto brauche ich wohl kein Wort mehr verlieren. Nun zu diesem Remaster hier...Zumindest kam die Platte äußerlich unversehrt bei mir an. Da habe ich auch schon oft Risse im Cover und innenhülle und Beschädigungen des Vinyls erlebt bei Platten Bestellungen über Amazon. Naja dafür ist ja eher den Herstellern der Platten ein Vorwurf zu machen. Amazon ist ja soweit immer kulant gewesen.Platte spielt soweit. Jedoch ist auffällig dass der Bass vorallem im ersten Song extrem überzogen ist. Ab dem zweiten Song ist regelmäßiges knacken angesagt. Unschön für die Ohren. Ich weiss echt nicht was da los ist und warum die Platten die hier als neu beschrieben sind so bescheiden gepresst sind... Ich werde Amazon erneut anschreiben und um Erstattung bitten. Das kann doch nicht sein dass man für 15 Euro eine neue Platte kauft und die sich anhört als wäre sie unterm Tisch gelegen.Ich bin verärgert..
