Face to Face, the Angels' second studio album, hit Australian shops in June 1978 on Albert Productions, with the band co-producing alongside Mark Opitz. Doc Neeson, freed from bass duty, prowls out front; the Brewster brothers, John on rhythm and Rick on lead, saw away like a two-man demolition crew; Chris Bailey and Buzz Bidstrup keep the engine room hammering. It's stripped-down, flat-out boogie rock from the Adelaide pubs, and it climbed to No. 18 on the Kent Music Report before shipping 280,000 copies and going four times platinum.
Peter Ledger's cover won the King of Pop award for Best Album Cover Design that year. Overseas the band traded as Angel City, and a March 1980 international edition mixed Face to Face with songs from No Exit plus a re-cut "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again". In 2010 it made the book 100 Best Australian Albums.
