Bonnie Tyler - Faster than The speed of Night CD

CBS klassikko!!

Faster Than the Speed of Night is the fifth studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was released in Europe on 8 April 1983 and later that year in the US through Columbia Records.

After releasing four albums on RCA, Tyler signed with CBS Records and changed musical direction. Soon after, she began working with Jim Steinman who produced the album and wrote its most successful single "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

Faster Than the Speed of Night entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 1, and was certified silver in the UK, platinum in the US, and double platinum in Canada.

On initial U.S. editions, the sleeve photo does not include the beam of light going through Tyler's head.
