Great experience
I was very pleased with this purchase. Cd was in great condition, even shrink wrapped! It was better than I expected for an older cd.


Got my first six string...
if you had your radio on, chances were that one of the 10 songs on this album was playing. It was the summer of '84. Bryan Adams hit mega-commercial paydirt when "Reckless" dropped six hit singles and 2 major album tracks, eventually selling over 7 million copies. It's also a watershed peak of songwriting for Adams and his partner Jim Vallance.

If you need a primer is what constituted a hit 80's rock album, "Reckless" (and to a lesser extent, Adam's prior album Cuts Like a Knife) offer it up. Tightly constructed songs with huge hooks, like "Summer Of 69" or "Heaven. " Put in a duet with it-rock comeback queen Tina Turner, "It's Only Love. " Add an encore-ready stadium shouter, "Kids Wanna Rock. " And make sure that two pop-rockers have sufficient polish to sound safe but urgent on the top-forty radio, the brilliant "Run To You" and catchy "Somebody. "

Adams hit all the marks on "Reckless," but he has done few songs to match "Summer of 69. " A perfect slice of Springsteen (who was also then massively popular with Born in the U. S. A. ) growin' up rock, it's one of those records that both marks a moment and defines it. Also very close to that level of perfection was "Heaven," a love ballad that Adams would eventually nail with "Everything I Do" and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman. " But it is the fact that "Reckless" works as a whole album that makes this Adam's most memorable work. Between this and his many greatest hits collections, there's not many other ways to get such a dead-on overview of Bryan Adam's world of rock.


Best of the 80's
Could sing these songs over and over again. . great album. One question. . . Did Bryan Adams jog behind a gravel truck?.


If you were in high school in the 80's you'll love it...
I downloaded this album for under $2 and since buying the hit songs individually would have cost me at least double what I paid, I'm a happy girl!

The entire album became a hit in 1985 and 24 years later, it's still a hit. "Reckless" by Bryan Adams is an essential addition to anyone who grew up in the 80's and still loves to rock. . . at least with me.


Reckless BA!
'Summer of 69' is not about 1969 but the act known as 69. Come on everyone! Bryan Adams has said it himself multiple times (Press & Sun Bulletin 2001, CBS Early Show 2008). Some radio stations stopped playing it for that reason.
