Europe - Wings of Tomorrow

Following their self-titled 1983 debut (click here for that review), Europe returned in 1984 with Wings of Tomorrow. It charted at number 20 in their native Sweden. Today (February 24th) marks the thirtieth anniversary of that release.

Europe - Europe

Today (March 14th) marks the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Europe, the self-titled debut album from the Swedish rock band. It charted at number 6 in their home country.

The original vinyl cover featured the line-up for the group - Joey Tempest (vocals, acoustic guitar and keyboards), John Norum (guitar and backing vocals), John Leven (bass), and Tony Reno (drums). The later CD release went with an architecture theme with angelic statues playing guitars. To be complete, I will include both with this review (though my old-school nature leans more towards the original vinyl in most cases).
