"I Won't Be Home Tonight has always been called Tony Carey's first solo release, unfortunately there was one released before that one that would have been a natural success if ever released entitled In the Absence of the Cat. IWBHT is the most accessible currently while ITAOTC being extremely rare, (except to some of us with originals)leaves you with the fact that you will be purchasing the best album from the year 1981 and still stands the time. IWBHT is simply superb and not only worth buying but you will be extactic when you hear it if for the first time. All of us collectors own this cd, many many many many thousands. Most owning the second cover shot called "the spaceship" but labels dont matter, this was a US release when he was loyal to us, and although moving to Germany and on to Spain, he, remains to fans in the US a number 1. Buy it I give this cd a #5 no pass over that all the way to #10."

"When MTV was rockin' and no joking like nowadays, came this guy with a terrific song called "I Wont Be Home Tonight", the video was simple but fun, and the song is very catchy. I just hope you enjoy this CD as much as I did. I must say Amazon is the only place that currently has this item, as far as I'm concerned."
A True Masterpiece

"In 1982, an artist named Tony Carey emerged onto the music scene at least to the people unaware of the fact he was the keyboardist on a couple of Rainbow albums. The first song released "I Won't Be Home Tonight" released and caught our attention, then if my greying memory serves me right, followed up by "West Coast Summer Nights". If there is one cd that is a true must have for any true music lover its this one. It has stood the hands of time in my collection and always will. Its not a disc that you'd occasionaly play, its the kind of disc you want to play. I've had album version of this, with the spaceship cover and when I finally got a computer and discovered Amazon and Tony Careys disc, it took me no time to place my credit card number on the screen and have my cd copy. This cd deserves a 10, but I've rated the highest possible."
