Another Page

Another Page is Christopher Cross's second studio album, recorded in 1982 and released in early 1983. Although not as commercially successful as its predecessor (it was only certified Gold by the RIAA while his self-titled debut album had already been certified Platinum by the time of the release of Another Page), the third single, "Think of Laura", reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984; it has since proven to be Cross' final single to reach the Top 10. The first single, "All Right", had reached #12 on the chart a year before. The third song to make the Top 40 was "No Time For Talk", but peaked only at #33. "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" appeared as a bonus track on the cassette and later CD releases of the album.
