EXTD= Class Dog was the album that made Rick Springfield an internatio
EXTD=nal music star. True, Rick had released albums prior to Working C

EXTD=c stratosphere. Working Class Dog has been re-released after 25 y
EXTD=ears--re-mastered and with bonus tracks. Working Class Dog includ
EXTD=es Rick Springfield's most well known hit "Jessie's Girl." Other 
EXTD=popular songs on the album include "I've Done Everything For You,
EXTD=" and "Love Is Alright Tonite." The best part about this re-maste

EXTD=ncluded on the CD are three bonus tracks. "Easy To Cry," and the 
EXTD=original version of "Taxi Dancing" which have not been released i
EXTD=n the past are included. Also on the disc is the demo version of 
EXTD="Jessie's Girl." As for liner notes the CD includes extensive alm
EXTD=ost Q&A style album notes from Rick Springfield and people involv

EXTD=POP CLASSIC....PERIOD!!!, April 23, 2005\nReviewer: Larry Davis (
EXTD=NYC/Long Island, NY, USA)\nHands down, EASILY, one of the greates
EXTD=t powerpop albums ever recorded!! As great as Cheap Trick's first
EXTD= 3 albums, the Knack's debut, Adam Schmitt's "World So Bright", a
EXTD=nything by the Shoes, the Move, Small Faces, BADFINGER, Raspberri
EXTD=es, even I should say THE BEATLES!!! \n\nSong for song, just a pe
EXTD=rfect 10-tune platter. No filler, no weak spots, all killer. Nice
EXTD= variety of sounds and moods...lean production, with just the rig
EXTD=ht dose of polish. The songs are tight, ultracatchy, rocking, and
EXTD= even lyrically deep. Not really commercial either, just PURE in 
EXTD=the songwriting and exuberant permormances...almost like enhanced
EXTD= demos, with the impression that Rick did this for himself, not t
EXTD=o get himself a hit record...totally unpretentious. EVERY song co
EXTD=uld have been a hit here, but because Rick was never taken that s
EXTD=eriously, this record never got it's due...enabling WCD to sound 
EXTD=fresh and as good as it did 25 years ago...a QUARTER CENTURY, jee
EXTD=z!! \n\nNot surprised either, as 1979/1980/1981 was the time peri
EXTD=od of the best powerpop ever recorded, and "Working Class Dog" is
EXTD= among those classic records of that ilk. Many people think it so
EXTD=unds better than most pop records of the day, that the melodies a
EXTD=nd chord changes and production was a step above?? Of COURSE!! Al
EXTD=l the best powerpop was of this quality, explore more records of 
EXTD=this type and of this era...that's my suggestion for you. \n\nBes
EXTD=ides "Jessie's Girl", my fave tunes are all the others that weren
EXTD='t hits, espesh "Carry Me Away", "Daddy's Pearl" and "Inside Sylv
EXTD=ia", which is such a beautiful, achingly pure song...then again, 
EXTD=Rick has never been afraid to delve below the surface lyrically.

EXTD= 23, 2002\nReviewer: D. Leon "A reader" (United States)\nI'm havi
EXTD=ng trouble believing this album was released 21 years ago. Widely
EXTD= considered Springfield's "first" album (he actually had three Am
EXTD=erican releases before this, four if you count the Mission Magic 
EXTD=soundtrack) it is a crisp, fresh, high-energy effort that still s
EXTD=ounds just as great as it did back in 1981. Springfield's vocal d
EXTD=elivery has passion, power, angst, and just a touch of Joe Jackso
EXTD=n, and gives the material just the right energy and emotion. It's
EXTD= a real bare-bones record. Nothing fancy, just drums, bass, rhyth
EXTD=m and lead guitar (but what lead guitar!! Guests Neal Geraldo and
EXTD= Robbin Ford both shine), and a little synth here and there. I th
EXTD=ink this is what gives the record such a clean, bright feel. No f
EXTD=rills, just high spirits and lots of fun, and of course, flawless
EXTD=ly constructed pop rock songs. Springfield is one of the hookiest
EXTD= writers in the biz, and I've seen people who claim to eschew his
EXTD= music singing the choruses from this record. And he mixes it up 
EXTD=here just enough, with a touch of reggae here (Everybody's Girl),
EXTD= a pinch of 40's bluesy big band there (Red Hot & Blue Love). It 
EXTD=isn't straight pop, straight rock, straight new wave, or anything
EXTD= else, but it has the taste of all of the above and then some. Tw
EXTD=o decades later, still a fun ride.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n
EXTD=Solid, September 28, 2000\nReviewer: A music fan\nThis is a great
EXTD= album. I've had to apologize to people for daring to be the fan 
EXTD=of such a bubble-gum pop star. But his songs are wonderful compos
EXTD=itions. He has chord changes that you often don't hear in a lot o
EXTD=f pop, and tempo changes, and they are very sophisticated songs a
EXTD=s far as pop music goes. I'd compare him--dare I say it--with the
EXTD= Beatles songs. (No, he's not as good as them.) I never did buy a
EXTD=nything else he did. But this is a solid record. I saw him in con
EXTD=cert last summer in Newport Beach, California, and he gave a grea
EXTD=t show, was very enthusiastic, and did all the songs I love.\n\nA
EXTD=MAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAn unrecognized classic!, January 10, 
EXTD=2000\nReviewer: Leslie (Richmond, VA)\nThis album never got the c
EXTD=ritical acclaim it deserved when it was released (probably due to
EXTD= the perception that Rick was just another soap actor trying to b
EXTD=e a rock star), but it has recently gotten some very belated crit
EXTD=ical respect. As Rick himself said in VH1's "Behind the Music" ab
EXTD=out his life and career, "It's about freakin' time!" There isn't 
EXTD=a weak track to be found here. The least likable song is arguably
EXTD= "I've Done Everything For You", but Sammy Hagar wrote that one, 
EXTD=so..'nuff said. Overall, this is 80's power pop/rock at its fines
EXTD=t, the kind of music that simply reminds you of how joyful good r
EXTD=ock music can be. "The Light of Love", "Carry Me Away" and "Every
EXTD=body's Girl", in particular, resonate with the joy of musicians w
EXTD=ho love what they're doing. This is a must-own for every fan of e
EXTD=arly 80's pop music. Though it may have been his most commerciall
EXTD=y successful album, a fact which often renders such releases "too
EXTD= commercial" for true fans to admit liking, no hard-core fan can 
EXTD=deny the sheer brilliance of this one.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REV

EXTD=eattle Fan"\nWorking Class Dog has arguably the best A-side ever 
EXTD=recorded in pop history, from "Love is Alright Tonite" through "I

EXTD=ch 2, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nTrue, the melody is upbeat and
EXTD= lively, but if you listen to some of his lyrics, Rick sounds lik
EXTD=e a jealous teenager in "Jessi's Girl," thinking being "funny & c
EXTD=ool with the lines" will get him a girlfriend. Also bothersome is
EXTD= that in that song, he sings about the body of Jessi's "girl" as 
EXTD=if she were a piece of meat and complains about her "loving him w
EXTD=ith that body." Rick also sounds like a complainer in "I've done 
EXTD=Everything..." Some of those lyrics make you wonder if he has a n
EXTD=egative attitude toward women. He sure could use a few lessons fr
EXTD=om Steve Perry. Steve isn't "funny & cool with lines," but knows 
EXTD=how to respect women as human beings. I was always so amused that
EXTD= when I was a teenager, so many girls were drooling over Rick, bu
EXTD=t me...my fave was Steve Perry.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nYo
EXTD=u are not a true Rick fan, unless you own this album!, March 1, 1
EXTD=999\nReviewer: A music fan\nWhat a great way to start the decade 
EXTD=off! This 1980 album threw Rick into the spotlight for all to see
EXTD=. With the energy of "Love is Alright Tonite" and "I've Done Ever
EXTD=ything for You," it was quite apparent that this musician was not
EXTD= going to be a one-time wonder. Both songs worked quite well as t
EXTD=hey were the typical sound of the early 80s soft-rock genre. Thei
EXTD=r upbeat pop sound was danceable and the lyrics were easily-diges
EXTD=tible for both radio disc-jockeys and Rick's pre-teen fans. But f
EXTD=lip to the "B" side and you'll hear some Rick flavor that didn't 
EXTD=get any air play until years later with the album "Living In Oz".
EXTD= The song "Red, Hot and Blue Love" is bluesy with suggestive lyri
EXTD=cs like: (Whatcha doin' baby, come on over tonite...we'll have a 
EXTD=joint, we'll be doin' it all nite.) "Everybody's Girl," about an 
EXTD="easy" woman who breaks Rick's heart. "Inside Sylvia," is appropr
EXTD=iately titled, as that is what the song is literally about. There
EXTD='s even an extended version of "I've Done Everything For You," wh
EXTD=ich includes the verse: "when I first met you, you didn't know ho
EXTD=w to love a man...," which for some unknown reason was cut out fo
EXTD=r the single. All in all, the album is great! For all who thought
EXTD= that Rick couldn't surprise his listeners with soulful and sexy 
EXTD=lyrics until "Living In Oz," you're wrong. Pick up this earlier p
EXTD=iece, and hear for yourself that the man's been rockin' all along
EXTD=. By the way, the album also includes an okay song entitled "Jess
EXTD=ie's Girl."\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAlways a Hit!, August 
EXTD=3, 1998\nReviewer: mcmaddox@aol.com (California)\nThis album will
EXTD= always go down for me as one of the best of the 80s. I still hum
EXTD= the tunes in my head every now and then. Remeber all the joy we 
EXTD=had with our friends as we sang along to the songs. The music is 
EXTD=alive and upbeat. This album should be a part of everyones collec
EXTD=tion!\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Rick Springfield \n\nAlbum 
EXTD=Notes\nRick Springfield may have been a soap-opera heartthrob, bu
EXTD=t he started out as a rocker in his native Australia, and his 198
EXTD=1 U.S. breakthrough, WORKING CLASS DOG, is a power-pop classic. "
EXTD=Jessie's Girl" remains a part of the collective pop consciousness
EXTD= decades after its release, and the mix of pop and New Wave-tinge
EXTD=d rock on "I've Done Everything For You" is just as credible as a
EXTD=nything Matthew Sweet has ever turned out.\n\nThe addition of two
EXTD= previously unreleased tunes and a bare-bones demo of "Jessie's G
