Life Beyond L.A.

Pack, Puerta and Drummond played, with North (organ and piano), Joe Sample, David Lewis on keyboards, Cliff Woolley on harmonica, Marty Krystall on saxophone, Daniel Kobialka on violin and Jimmie Haskell arranging strings. Tom Trefethen and Stewart Whitmore engineered and Doug Sax mastered at The Mastering Lab; Ed Caraeff shot the cover. The band article gives August 1978 for the release. It reached 19 on the Billboard 200 and 14 in Canada, above One Eighty's peak, and AllMusic's Tim Griggs gave it two and a half stars. Pack has said North left during the sessions and returned within a year; Rolling Stone Australia relays that he appears on only two tracks.
