Description
🎸 Cheap Trick – Dream Police (Epic / MHCP-78, Japan CD Edition)
Released in 1979 at the height of Cheap Trick’s power-pop dominance, Dream Police captures the band’s transition from raw Midwestern rockers to theatrical arena icons. This Japanese CD edition, complete with obi strip and remastered audio, offers a pristine presentation of one of their most ambitious studio efforts.
Blending orchestral flourishes with biting guitars and sardonic lyrics, the album explores paranoia, desire, and rebellion with cinematic flair. Rick Nielsen’s songwriting is at its peak, while Tom Werman’s production adds polish without sacrificing punch. From the bombastic title track to the hypnotic “Need Your Love,” this release is a must-have for collectors and fans of late-'70s rock evolution.
