In 1982, Eddie Money was a hugely successful and famous artist with a string of hit singles and platinum albums to his name. Eddies raspy tones and his penchant for earthy blue collar rock had served him well. Where's the Party was his fifth an album largely produced, as was his previous platinum smash No Control, by veteran studio wizard, Tom Dowd, Derek & the Dominoes, Cream etc, in Los Angeles, surrounded by a number of top session players, including members of Mr Mister, the Steve Miller Ban.
