Tic Tac

The stockings are hung, the presents are wrapped, and the time is now to wish all of our readers at The Second Disc a wonderful holiday season before we enter a brief winter hibernation until the new year! 2023 was our 13th year as (we hope!) one of the more fun destinations for music reissues, box sets and catalogue releases.

Rick Springfield Springfield

Rick Springfield was the real deal, and the record business knew it.  Already a veteran of multiple bands including Zoot, the Australian singer-songwriter had good looks and good songs - not to mention a great voice and strong chops.  Yet international superstardom didn't come easily for the future General Hospital star and chart-topping "Jessie's Girl" artist.  He paid his dues, including a short-lived, uneasy tenure at Columbia Records.  Rick had scored a top 20 Pop and AC success of 1972's
