Richard Marx ‎– Richard Marx VG+/VG+

Richard Marx’s self-titled debut album, released in 1987, was a carefully crafted explosion onto the pop-rock scene. It wasn’t just catchy tunes; it was a showcase of a new songwriting talent with a knack for crafting radio-ready anthems. The album launched four hit singles that climbed the Billboard charts, including the chart-topping power ballad “Hold On to the Nights.” While “Don’t Mean Nothing,” the first single, offered a glimpse into the potential pitfalls of the music industry with a rock edge, the album leaned towards themes of love and summer nights, perfect for cruising with the windows down. Critics praised the album’s polished production and Marx’s undeniable songwriting skills, solidifying it as a triple-platinum success.
