Catalog #: FC-39334

Format: LP
Condition: VG+

Steve Perry's solo debut arrived in 1984 at the absolute peak of his commercial appeal, and Street Talk is a near-flawless AOR record by any measure. Oh Sherrie — written about his then-girlfriend and produced with a directness that bypassed Journey's ensemble approach entirely — is one of the defining singles of the decade, but the album holds its level throughout. Perry's voice is in exceptional form, and the production strikes the balance between polished and emotionally direct that the best 80s pop-rock consistently achieved. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — essential for the Journey or AOR collector and a strong standalone title in its own right.
