Personnel

Performance

Despite strong reviews [1] and a video for "Calling All Girls" that got heavy play on MTV, neither the single nor the album cracked the Billboard charts. (The "Calling All Girls" single did manage to scrape onto the Record World chart at #109.) The second single, "Shake It and Dance" also faltered, but today the LP is considered by some to be a new-wave classic.
