The Search is Over: Two Survivor LPs Coming Back to CD

December 2, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

British indie label Rock Candy Records is putting two Survivor albums back in print: 1983's Caught in the Game and 1984's Vital Signs.

These two LPs followed Survivor's 1982 smash "Eye of the Tiger," famously featured on the soundtrack to Rocky III; interestingly, only one of them had any degree of success. Caught in the Game was mostly a stiff, only managing No. 82 on the Billboard charts (the same position as pre-success LP Premonition in 1981) and the title track, the only single, did not perform well. By contrast, Vital Signs was a hit: "I Can't Hold Back" peaked at No. 13, while subsequent singles "High on You" and "The Search is Over" fared even better, respectively charting at No. 8 and No. 4 in the U.S.

Both discs are remastered from the original tapes and feature expanded liner notes. Vital Signs is extended by one track: "The Moment of Truth," as heard on the soundtrack to The Karate Kid (1984). Both can be ordered on Amazon U.K.; they will be available to order in the U.S. on December 7. View the track lists after the jump.

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
