Pages is the third album by American jazz rock band Pages. It was released in March 1981 by Capitol Records. It was their second self-titled album, after their debut.
In a turn of events paralleled to that of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker with Steely Dan, Pages had become less of a band by this album, featuring only Richard Page, Steve George, and lyricist John Lang as members.[1] The rest of the musicians on the album were session players. Most of the album was produced, engineered, and mixed by guitarist and songwriter Jay Graydon between May and November 1980. Overdubs and mixing were done at Graydon's Garden Rake Studio. Bobby Colomby, who produced both of their previous albums, was brought in to record two more songs after most of the album was completed. Those songs, "You Need a Hero" and "Come on Home," were recorded between December 1980 and January 1981 with Colomby and his technical personnel.[2]
Reception
Two singles were released from the album, "You Need a Hero" and "Come on Home," neither of which charted. Page and George disbanded Pages later that year after a few live performances, and formed Mr. Mister in 1982.
