Airwaves ‎– New Day [Remaster First Time on CD] 2013
I have this on vinyl but stored away. When I saw it was available I had to get it. Great music from that era; a bit more pop version of Supertramp and some songs are too pop. Love the title song (classic that King Singers did as well). There are some gems.

A1 Love Stop
A2 Let Me In
A3 The Cat
A4 Keep Away The Blues
A5 Hope You Won’t
A6 You Are The New Day
B1 So Hard Living Without You
B2 Nobody Is

B4 Don’t Let The Daylight In
