The Babys Live At The Bottom Line, 1979

After signing with Chrysalis Records to what was then the highest-paying contract for a new band, The Babys released their self-titled debut album in 1976, followed the following year by Broken Heart, which included the Top 20 hit "Isn't It Time." At the end of 1978 Head First appeared, and the newly expanded band with the future Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain and bassist Ricky Philips went on tour.

In early 1979, the Babies played two nights at the legendary Bottom Line in New York and not only presented material from their first three albums, but also introduced three new songs. One track, "Crystal Ball", was intended to appear in a different form than "Anytime" on the 1981 album Union Jacks; another, "Stick To Your Guns", was recorded for this album recorded but never released; and a third, "Loaded", was only available at their live shows. These three tracks, along with the rest of their 11-track set, are finally available on Live At The Bottom Line, 1979.

All performances are previously unpublished. Featuring their hits "Isn't It Time" and Head First's "Every Time I Think Of You", fan favorites and three new tracks not available anywhere else, The Babys Live At The Bottom Line, 1979 is an important document in the story of the Babies and a fascinating insight into the band at the peak of their creativity in an outstanding performance at a legendary venue.
