Today’s cassette tape is Lovin’ Every Minute of It (1985) by Loverboy.

This one is mostly remembered for the hit single This Could Be the Night, which climbed all the way to #10 on Billboard. But the whole album is packed with high-energy hard rock that occasionally drifts into full-on hair metal territory.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Loverboy. They were never the coolest band, but they had a playful streak that made them fun. Plus, they’re a hometown act—straight out of Vancouver, Canada.

This particular cassette shows its age. The case is scuffed, the plastic scratched, and the tape itself has a couple of quick dropouts. Still, it’s a blast to throw on while out walking, imperfections and all.

A person is holding a vintage cassette tape of Loverboy – Lovin’ Every Minute of It. The cover shows a black-and-white photo of the band members smiling and standing together, with the album title handwritten in blue above them. The band’s name “LOVERBOY” is printed in bold red letters at the top, and the tracklist is visible at the bottom. A red stripe along the bottom edge reads “CHROMIUM DIOXIDE.” The cassette case has visible scratches and wear, emphasizing its age.

@atomicpoet @recordpics it's quite possible that somewhere in storage, my mom has that exact tape. My parents were listening to that album a lot when I was around 5-6. And around that same time the band my dad was in was also covering Working For the Weekend (not from this album). But because of the age I was at, the music now reminds me of stuff I was thinking about at the time, like stegosauruses.
