Before he became a renowned country artist, Dan Seals went by the name of England Dan and issued a string of albums with John Ford Coley. This collection presents 16 of the soft-rock duo's finest tunes, including the sensitive "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" and the emotive "Nights Are Forever Without You," making it a fine overview of the group's 1970s run.
