Good compilation by Toronto

"This album, now available on a remastered CD, is the compilation that was released after the breakup of the band. It includes tracks from all four of their studio releases, plus two unreleased tracks. One of these, What About Love, later became a major hit by Heart, so it is interesting to hear the original version. Named for their adoptive city, Toronto was a hard rock band that achieved some success in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While they were known primarily in Canada, singer Holly Woods came from the United States, and second guitarist Sharon Alton came from England. Because of their two female members, they were often likened to Heart, but their style was harder - Heart meets BTO. This band was extremely underrated, and their music still holds up nicely.
