Notes
Journey's ninth album, released in February 1983. Frontiers continues in the direction of the band's previous album's hook-heavy arena rock, albeit with a darker tone. Like its predecessor, Frontiers was a massive hit on release, reaching #2 on the Billboard charts, and spawning a Top 10 single (Send Her My Love). Music videos were created for all four singles, as well as "Chain Reaction," despite the song not being released as a single.
Frontiers was re-released in 2006 with four bonus tracks: "Wendy Carlos - Tron (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), respectively, as well as "Liberty," an outtake from the Frontiers sessions. "Only The Young" and "Ask The Lonely" were originally slated for inclusion on Frontiers, but were held for soundtrack appearances and replaced with "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child," contributing to the album's harder sound.

Found a near mint copy of this gem at my local shop for 10 bucks. I'm ecstatic. After cleaning it on the VPI, it looks and sounds impeccable. Don't up this record, especially if you get a good deal!
-
It's really a shame what they've done with this great album with this edition, it suffers from the excess of compression of these times, it's dizzying, and I say a shame because the extras they added are magnificent, especially for having included Only The Young. But I see that I'll have to stick with the original on CD as well. -
Wow what a pressing! If there was a "hot mix" of a Journey album this is it! Sound is awesome! Picked this up for $.50 cents at the Lions Club, got it home and gave it my Pre clean and Ultrasonic clean and bam!!!! What a score! (Picked up 13 total albums) This one sounds the best! -
Edited one year agoWhile most big box store exclusives offer close to zero (colored vinyl, laminated backstage replica, etc.) this one provides what an exclusive should, more MUSIC. In addition to a great pressing of the original album on Coke bottle clear (transparent light green) vinyl it also contains a 33 1/3 7" of four fantastic tracks, including the highly sought-after Stranger Things soundtrack remix of Separate Ways and the non-album track hits Only The Young and Ask The Lonely. This 7" also sounds fantastic. I am not a huge Journey fan, but I'm sure glad I picked this up on sale for a pittance. It has overshot my expectations. Hopefully, we see more exclusive releases that provide value like this and fewer that include useless gimmicks.
-
Only 4 or 5 copies of this test pressing were manufactured...which begs the question: How the heck do 27 people own this?!? -
Pretty good sounding piece of vinyl. Mine plays quiet and has a nice balanced mix. -
Is there a not remastered Frontiers CD that does not have pre-emphasis? -
Like many have said, one of Journey’s many masterpieces with many classics on it. The sound was really nice as well.
-
I haven’t listened to mine yet. I also have an original Japanese and U.S pressing and as far as getting an original They’re all over eBay and for no more than what I paid for this new reissue so I don’t understand y’all’s comments about getting an original.they’re not hard to find or expensive. -
Edited one year agoPicked up this Oct. 2023 remaster/reissue today with the 7" included. Black vinyl. Nice quiet pressing. I heard the original 1983 pressing back in the day, but never owned it, so I only have the original CBS CD release of this album to compare it to. To my ears this is a great pressing and the bonus 7" included is a nice value add. Considering how much original pressings go for now, I was glad to snag this for $12.99+tax. If you can get this at $20 or under, this is a no brainer for Journey fans.
