Cheap Trick: Heaven Tonight (Epic)
Mitchell Cohen, Creem, August 1978
DANIEL AND GLORIA met at a rock flea market when their hands reached for the one over-priced copy of Hackamore Brick's One Kiss Leads To Another. They fell in love. But lately the relationship has not been going all that well. Rock 'n' roll is tearing them apart as their tastes diverge, and it's gotten to the point where the only new album they listen to together is Rocket To Russia.
