Description
Here they are…the ones that you love. ALL of the hits that the Australian duo of Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell scored during their sterling, 40-year career, plus a whole lot more—their biggest collection ever! Air Supply simply ruled the ‘80s charts with Top Five hits like “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was over You,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Even the Nights Are Better,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” and they’re all here, newly remastered by Sean Brennan at Battery Studios to make their indelible pop melodies soar even more than before. But this two-CD, 30-track set contains a lot more for Air Supply fans to savor, like their first single for Columbia, “Love and Other Bruises,” and the David Foster-produced “I Can Wait Forever” from the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Liner notes by Joe Marchese follow the duo’s meteoric rise to the top of the charts, and the package includes art from their albums and added photos. Supreme popcraft in every track!

Here's a little mind-blower for a few of you. The piano on "All Out Of Love" is played by none other than Roy Bittan of The E-Street Band.

And Tommy Emmanuel is on some of the early hits.

It's a wonder that my favorite Air Supply song, the B-side "Late Again", has appeared on CD only once on a Japan import compilation.

This appears to be the third entry in Sony's The Essential series that were originally issued as digital downloads but are now being issued on CD by Real Gone, rather than Sony themselves.

Which early hits did Tommy play on? He's a guitarist I only discovered around 5 or 10 years ago.

Which Air Supply Japanese compilation CD contains this song? I have many comps but not this one.
