First Offense was the debut album from Canadian singer Corey Hart, a slick slab of new wave on Aquarius Records that arrived with its calling card already in the chamber: "Sunglasses at Night", all cold synth pulse and brooding cool.

"It Ain't Enough" is the ballad, the one where Hart drops the pose and lets the heartache show. The record earned him four Juno Award nominations and a Grammy nod for Best New Artist, heady stuff for a first try. The follow-up, Boy in the Box, went on to become his best-selling album.
