A lot was at stake for Fore!, which rose to the occasion with triple-platinum sales, two more chart-toppers ("Stuck With You" and the Bruce Hornsby cowrite "Jacob's Ladder") plus three additional Top 10 hits ("Hip to Be Square," "Doing It All for My Baby," "I Know What I Like"). But it did not come easy."
We were just grooving so hard through Sports," Lewis recalled. "We were like, 'Yeah, we'll write 10 songs, no problem.' Suddenly it becomes, 'Yep, time to make a record,' and we had come off the road and all had families we wanted to be with. So we got together, and in three weeks we ground out six tunes. They were terrible. We didn’t use one of them in the end."That's when I realized, 'Oh, man, we're in trouble.' I called Bob [Brown, the group's manager] and said, 'This record may be a while.'
"There was, in fact, some thought in the News camp about stepping out stylistically on the new album — basically taking the path they eventually took on 1988's Small World, incorporating different flavors and influences. That notion was quickly scuttled, however. "We had to prove that Sports wasn't a fluke," Lewis said. "Plus, we had just released 'The Power of Love,' which was our biggest record and broke us internationally, so it was important to come back with a strong hit record."

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way.NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect.VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience.
Very Good (VG)
VG records have more obvious flaws, lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail.Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along.POOR (P)
and Fair (F)
Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.Sealed Albums
Still-sealed albums can — and do — bring even higher prices than listed.
