On the Edge by Babys
On the Edge is an album by Babys, released in 1980. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Too Far Gone”, on 1 list with a best position of #104.
On the Edge, the Babys' fifth studio album, arrived on Chrysalis in 1980, and it turned out to be their last. Keith Olsen produced, and the British band come on lean and hungry, all hard-rock muscle wrapped around a pop heart: John Waite's raspy, pleading vocals up front, Wally Stocker's guitar and Jonathan Cain's keyboards trading punches, and Ricky Phillips and Tony Brock driving the rhythm section.
"Turn and Walk Away" was the only single from it to make the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 42, and "Too Far Gone" is the track that turned up on the countdowns. That lineup held together until the band split in 1981, and Anthology followed.
