Another Page

Another Page is Christopher Cross's second studio album, recorded in 1982 and released in early 1983. It was not as commercially successful as its predecessor (it was certified Gold by the RIAA, but only after his self-titled debut album had already been certified Platinum by the time of the release of Another Page). "All Right", the first single from the album, reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the #1 hit on the RPM. o reach the Top 10. The second single, "No Time for Talk" peaked at #33. The third single, "Think of Laura" reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary. Making it the final single to be top 10 hit. The album reached number 1 in Japan in 1983.^[2]

"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" appeared as a bonus track on the cassette and later CD releases of the album.

An instrumental version of "No Time for Talk" appeared in the movie American Anthem, which was composed by the song's co-author and producer of Another Page, Michael Omartian.

William Ruhlmann said this about the album, "Christopher Cross had a lot to live up to following his self-titled debut album, which had sold a million copies (now up to five million), spawned four Top 40 hits, including the number one hit, "Sailing ," and won him five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year (the last two for "Sailing"), and Best New Artist. So, he took three years to make Another Page, which, unsurprisingly, sounded a lot like its predecessor. Cross concentrated on smooth pop arrangements, over which be sang greeting-card romantic sentiments in an innocent, Brian Wilson-like tenor. No one would confuse the result with anything truly heartfelt, or with real rock & roll, but Cross' soothing approach was still good enough to put two of his songs, "All Right" and "No Time for Talk," into the Top 40 and earn a gold record certification. Then, nearly a year after the album's release, TV soap opera General Hospital began featuring the maudlin ballad "Think of Laura," and Another Page suddenly had a third single, this one a Top Ten hit."
