Street Talk (1984), Steve Perry's first
solo album, released in April, 1984. Street Talk contains Perry's biggest hit as a solo artist, "Oh Sherrie", written
for his then-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford. The song hit #3 on the Billboard Chart and the accompanying music video (also
featuring Swafford) was a hit on MTV. Other singles included "Foolish Heart" (peaked at #18), "She's Mine" (peaked at #21),
and "Strung Out" (peaked at #40). There were a number of nods to Perry's pre-Journey band Alien Project on this album—in
fact, that band was originally going to be called Street Talk In the liner notes, Perry dedicates the album to Richard Michaels
(the bassist for Alien Project). Also, drummer Craig Krampf was a member of Alien Project later in the 1970s. Street
Talk is certified as 2x Platinum (2,000,000) in sales by the RIAA.

Journey (1975) Journey's self-titled debut album, Journey, was released in 1975 on
the Columbia Records label. Unlike their later recordings, the debut release is a progressive rock album, in the jazz-fusion
vein. It is the only album to include guitarist George Tickner among their personnel. This lineup of Journey showcased their
considerable talent as musicians on jazz-flavored mix, progressive rock epics like "Of a Lifetime", "Kohoutek", "Mystery Mountain",
and "Topaz".

|
Look into the Future (1976) Journey's second album, Look into the Future, was released
in January of 1976 on the Columbia Records label. For their second album, the members of Journey toned down the overt progressiveness
of their first, self-titled release, in favor of a more focused, commercial approach. Despite that, Look Into the Future still
retains some of the experimental approach and sound of the debut, especially in the title track and "I'm Gonna Leave You".
Guitarist George Tickner had left the band, leaving members Greg Rolie (lead vocals/keyboards), Neal Schon (guitar), Ross
Valory (bass), and Aynsley Dunbar (drums).

Next (1977) Journey's third album, Next, was released in 1977 (see 1977 in music).
Journey continued the formula from 1976's "Look into the Future" but this album retains much of Journey's jazz-flavored progressiveness
from the first album. Songs include the opening, moody number, "Spaceman", as well as standout rocker "Hustler", the odd timing
instrumental "Nickel And Dime", and the epic "I Would Find You". The instrumental entitled "Cookie Duster" was listed in very
early pressings of the album, though not actually included on the pressings, and then not listed on the cover art at all.
Many fans feel this song is one of their best instrumentals and should have been included. It was later released on their
Timeł compilation.

Infinity (1978) Journey's fourth album, Infinity, was released in January of 1978 on
the Columbia Records label. Looking for a stronger lead vocalist, Journey briefly enlisted front man Robert Fleischman and
even recorded one track, "For You", which would later appear on the Time3 collection. Fleischman was soon replaced by Steve
Perry. Perry and Neal Schon penned their first song together, "Patiently", which would appear on the new studio album. Other
popular singles include "Lights" and "Wheel in the Sky", the latter written by temporary front man Fleischman. Journey's manager,
Herbie Herbert, enlisted producer Roy Thomas Baker to engineer Infinity. This produced a layered sound approach, similar to
his work with Queen, as demonstrated on tracks such as "Winds of March". The addition of Perry solidified their more mainstream
sound and helped Journey attain their highest chart success to date. Infinity also marked the last appearance of drummer Aynsley
Dunbar as a member of the band - he left to join Jefferson Starship.

|
Evolution (1979) Evolution, is the name of Journey's fifth studio album. It was released
in April of 1979 on the Columbia Records label. The album was their highest charting album to date. They retained Roy Thomas
Baker as producer but drummer Aynsley Dunbar was replacing with Steve Smith, formerly with Ronnie Montrose's band. Evolution
features their first top 20 hit, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'". "Just the Same Way" featured original lead vocalist Gregg
Rolie in place of Steve Perry.
|

|
Departure (1980) Departure is the name of Journey's sixth album. It was released in
March of 1980 on the Columbia Records label. Departure would be the band's highest charting album to date, giving Journey
their first appearance in the top 10 of the Billboard album charts. The album includes "Any Way You Want It", the lead off
track and top 25 single. The album would mark the last studio appearance of founding member Gregg Rolie. He tired of life
on the road and decided to resign his position in the band. However, he did assist in selecting his replacement, Jonathan
Cain, then of The Babys.

Dream After Dream (1980) Dream After Dream, performed by American rock group Journey,
is the soundtrack to the Japanese film of the same title. It was released in 1980 on the Columbia Records label. The soundtrack
consists mostly of instrumental tracks with sparse vocals on two tracks, "Destiny" and "Sand Castles".
The closing song, "Little Girl" is the only true vocal track. It was later featured on Journey's Time3 collection.
|

|
Escape (1981) Journey's seventh studio album (and eighth overall), Escape, was released
in July 1981. Escape was the band's first album with new keyboardist Jonathan Cain who had replaced founding keyboardist Gregg
Rolie who had left the band at the end of 1980. The album was co-produced by Kevin Elson and one-time Queen engineer Mike
Stone, who also engineered the album. With three hit singles out of "Don't Stop Believin'", "Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms"
plus rock radio staples like "Stone in Love" and the album's title cut, Escape became Journey's biggest selling album yet,
and remains one of their most popular and best-reviewed works to date.
|

|
Frontiers (1983) Frontiers, Journey's eighth album, was released in February of 1983
on the Columbia Records label. The album would garner four top 40 singles: "After the Fall" (#23), "Send Her My Love" (#23),
"Faithfully" (#12), and "Separate
Ways" (#8), and a rock radio hit in "Chain Reaction." All of the first five tracks (the album's
first side) had videos created for them. Arguably the album would have been an even bigger success had it not been for the
last minute decision by Michael Dilbeck, the band’s longtime A & R man, to switch two tracks; he put "Back Talk"
and "Troubled Child" in, and took out "Ask the Lonely" and "Only the Young." Jonathan Cain had more input on this album; not
only did he once again help co-write all the tracks, he was the main pen behind "Faithfully", and there is more emphasis on
keyboards.

|
Raised on Radio (1986) Journey's ninth album, Raised on Radio, was released in May
of 1986 on the Columbia Records label. Following their two most successful albums, lead singer Steve Perry decided to take
more control over the band's direction. First, Ross Valory and Steve Smith were fired from the band, against the wishes of
manager Herbie Herbert. The two were replaced by various studio musicians for the recording of Raised on Radio, including
Randy Jackson (bass) and Larrie Londin (drums). Smith did record two tracks with Journey on the album, and he and Valory still
received revenues from the record and subsequent tour. Both returned to Journey in 1996.

Arrival (2001) Arrival was released in 2000. It was Journey's first studio album with
new lead singer Steve Augeri, who had replaced singer Steve Perry. Journey also had a new drummer, Deen Castronovo, for this
record. The album was originally first released in Japan in late 2000, but due to its leakage onto the Internet,
the band decided to delay its release in the United States.
Due to feedback from fans who heard the leaked version of Arrival, the band decided to record two harder rocking songs, which
were included on the American version of the album. Arrival produced a minor adult contemporary hit with the ballad "All the
Way", while rock fans were more satisfied with songs like "Higher Place"
and the two new tracks on the American release, "World Gone Wild" and "Nothin' Comes Close".

Red 13 EP (2002) Red 13 is an experimental EP recorded by the band as a thank you to
their fans for standing by Journey. 4 songs that range from a slight return to their progressive roots, a bluesy hard rocker,
a cinematic ballad with a dark side and their trademark melodic rock. The band released this EP on to their website and later,
with cover art created by one of their fans, worldwide.

Arrival and 2002's Red 13 EP. The album was given away for free by the band during most of the concerts of the Generations
tour in 2005, and subsequently released on Sanctuary Records later the same year. This was the first Journey album where all
of the band members share the lead vocalist duties. Jonathan Cain sings lead on "Every Generation", the first time he sang
lead since "All That Really Matters" (a song originally left off Frontiers) from the Time3 box set. Deen Castronovo sings
