I am so glad Tale of the Tape has finally been re-relased. I have been searching for this CD for so long. (Of course, it is called "Tale of the Tape" since it originally came out in the pre-CD era) I used to have it on cassette tape in high school, until it completely wore out a few years ago. Since then it has been impossible to find. A true Billy Squier fan's gem of a find. Classic songs that will take you back to the 80's. Who's Your Boyfriend, Like I'm Lovin' You and Callie Oh, all excellent songs. Great guitar, great voice, great music. I think this is his best work ever and shows he is capable of much more than just "Stroke." True Squier fans and 80's reminiscents will both love this CD!

I misplaced my old vinyl of Tale of the Tape and was glad to get the CD version. It sounds even better than "back in the day". Even though it's been a number of years, I still remember all the words to all the songs. Fantastic!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A true gem, August 8, 2008

The Tale of the Tape offers a rare glimpse into the early, post-Piper years of Billy Squier. In my opinion, Squier is a highly underrated, straightforward rocker. His unique vocals perfectly compliment a stripped-down accompaniment of raw guitars and thundering drums. This CD contains a lot of little-known, yet catchy tunes. Not really a bad song on here. Standing out particularly is the anthemic "The Big Beat" and the girlfriend-gone-astray "Who's Your Boyfriend". If you like simple, gritty hard rock, then I'd highly recommend this.
