When I bought my CD burner this was the first album I cleaned up and turned into a CD. Definitely one of the best sleeper recordings of all time! The first thing I heard by these guys was "Baby Why Can't You Stay" and from there I was hooked. I bought Tour Of Japan and heard their great live performance and saw how young these guys were. Hell, they were my age back then! But, back to One Night Stands. If I had to pick a lull in this disc it would be Loose Change, simply because I can't remember it. All the other cuts are keepers. This disc could have practically been a greatest hits volume as far as I'm concerned. My all-time favorite Teaze song is "Touch the Wind". This song is an epic; it ROCKS! Great AOR songs were "Back In Action", "Young & Reckless", "Reach Out" and "Red Hot & Ready". There are 2 songs that should have been major hits and they are "Heartless World" and "Through the Years".

Without the disc in front of me I can't tell you the names of the bands memebers, so, I'll edit that in after I'm home, but this album was produced by Myles Goodwyn of April Wine fame. Trust me he outdid himself here with as good a production job as Roy Thomas Baker or Alan Parsons ever did. This disc is a complete package. Great songs with sometimes a young party message, but there are enough great songs here that go beyond that to see the talent. I only wish Capitol would have done something to help push this band. If you want to know what you missed in life that would have made a year out of your life more enjoyable try One Night Stands. The vocals, guitar work and rhythm are better than good. One of my Top 100 of all-time! Someday, if I ever get rich, I will buy this from anyone who got it because of my review and didn't like it!

It's about time this is out on CD!

This is a good album. Hardrock with some real attitude and good songs to match it. And the singer is really great, why isn't he mentioned more often when discussing hardrock greats? My only concern is that this song list isn't quite the same as on my vinyl album. 2 of the tracks from this CD is missing, and instead there is a really nice ballad called "Loose change". Can someone explain why there is such a difference between the vinyl (at least the one I have) and the CD?

There was a prominent DJ in San Antonio, TX during the 70's and 80's who had a vision that South Texas could become a center for up-and-coming metal bands. He had an ear for melody and great song-writing or he never would have succeeded. Teaze has all of the above and more. I can still recall the lyrics "...young and reckless with no time to loose, fast and foolish with our lives..." while I was drag-racing on FM 1604 when I was 18. I am older and wiser now, but this music captures youth and power!

A true classic in every sense. This album received tons of airplay in some markets between 1979 and 1980. I was lucky enough to hear these guys open for Moxy and Triumph in San Antonio and that was a tremendous concert from beginning to end. This remastered release is missing the 2 extra tracks that came out on the Zoom Records version released a couple of years ago. What I perceived as young kids 30 years ago [just a little older than me] rocked the Municipal Auditorium.

This disc is produced by Myles Goodwin, from April Wine fame, and was originally released on Aquarius/Capitol Records depending on whether you bought the US or Canadian release. I hate to use the term cult classic so frequently, but this is an album I recorded to CD as soon as I bought my Philips CD burner. Some of the songs have somewhat juvenile lyrics, but the music is nothing short of amazing. The best track is "Touch the Wind", which is reminiscent of a psychedelic song. The worst song on the disc is "Stay Here', which is actually worth 4 stars. The songs that you need to hear are "Back in Action", "Young and Restless", "Heartless World", and "Through the Years". The remaining tracks fall somewhere between my favorite and least favorite, but are excellent tracks. Touch the Wind or try by listening to Teaze. If you like this then you may move on to BODY SHOTS, A TASTE OF TEAZE [Greatest hits?] or their live album recorded in Japan. These guys are really good. Take a chance on something you've never heard or have been dying to hear for a long time.
