REO Speedwagon You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish CD

REO Speedwagon's 1978 release, the humorously-titled YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO BUT YOU CAN'T TUNA FISH, proved to be one of the band's last true rock-based albums before the band set its sights on a more commercially-based direction in the '80s.

The album became one of REO's best sellers of the '70s (a decade in which the band was better known for their live shows than any hit singles), and showed that they were finally breaking through to a wide audience. Two REO classics reside here--the rockers "Roll with the Changes" and "Time for Me to Fly," making YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO BUT YOU CAN'T TUNA FISH a pivotal album in REO's career.

Also availble with "Nine Lives" on 1 cassette.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.
