While already having street credibility due to their years supporting a plethora of gold and platinum artists (Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Chicago), the debut album from Toto simply titled Toto catapulted the power quintet into major arena rock status as they accumulated a ton of hit singles and gold and platinum album awards on this 1979 masterpiece.

Upon its release, Toto flew into the upper rungs of the rock and pop music charts with the power rocker Hold The Line. Filled with its catchy hooks, brilliant vocal and guitar work from maestro Steve Lukather, and the familiar Bobby Kimball high energy lead vocals, this amazing debut single has become a classic rock staple. Adding the stellar piano work from David Paich and Steve Porcaro, the song truly resonated with its huge audience, and broke wide open the importance of both the band and their great new album.

Produced by Toto (David Paich, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Porcaro, Bobby Kimball, David Hungate) Toto was a watershed venture for the band as its ten champion tunes have all truly stood the test of time. Aside from the massive top charting Hold The Line there were more classics abound like the follow up power rocker I’ll Supply The Love, the soulful fare of Georgy Porgy featuring the great Cheryl Lynn on vocals, plus even more brillant album tracks like Angela, Rockmaker and Manuela Run.

By the mid-eighties, Toto had become a radio and retail staple across the globe. With successful hit singles and albums dating back to 1978, their sixth smash album for Columbia Records Fahrenheit gave their fans more of the great sounds they were accustomed to hearing. The group achieved more gold and platinum success with hit singles like I'll Be Over You and Without Your Love.

With the addition of new vocalist Joseph Williams, this powerful rock band merged their successful formula, while adding some new musical dimensions to the Fahrenheit sessions. After playing individually and collectively with some of the most popular acts of all time like Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs, Toto combined their talents with some of their most famous musician friends for this stunning release. For instance, listen to Michael McDonald's powerful background vocals on the number one hit I'll Be Over You. David Sanborn is also enlisted to play saxophone on several key tracks like Fahrenheit. Don Henley provides his support on the magical ballad Lea, and the late great Miles Davis supplies the wailing trumpet solo throughout the strong instrumental Don't Stop Me Now.

With the nucleus of Steve Lukather (guitars/vocals), David Paich (keyboards/vocals), the late great Jeff Porcaro (drums and percussion), Steve Porcaro (keyboards/electronics), and Mike Porcaro (bass), Fahrenheit was a winning effort for the band and for their avid record buying audience.

Friday Music is very proud to offer this amazing album once again. For this Definitive Remaster Edition, we include all the original album cover graphics, as well as a stunning new remaster from the original Columbia Records tapes. Rock on!
