Greatest Hits + 5
Report from Columbia Records
~ December 1998

~Final Installment~



Journey disbanded after one more album and tour, and Perry spent some time living and "putting some home back in my life." That meant returning to the central California farming area where he was raised to ride his motorcycle, hit some county fairs and visit old friends -- "putting some experience back in my life," he says.

Shortly thereafter, he began work on his second album, entitled Against the Wall, which, due to creative differences between Perry and the label, was not released. Seven of Perry's favorite tracks from those sessions -- the new single "When You're in Love For the First Time," "Against the Wall," "Forever Right or Wrong," "Summer of Luv," "Melody," "Once in a Lifetime Girl" and "What Was" -- appear for the first time on Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased. "The songs are exactly the way I envisioned them," Perry says. "They sound as good to me today as they did then."



Perry returned to the studio again and returned with the more rock-flavored For the Love of Strange Medicine, another Top 20 success that also sent Perry on the road for the first time as a solo act, which served to dispel unfounded rumors about throat cancer and other maladies that had supposedly kept him out of eyesight for seven years. "I was having a great time out there, playing all these beautiful, restored theaters all over America," he says. "Every time I would do a sound check, I'd feel so special to be in these theaters."

These days, Perry says he wait to perform again. For now, however, he will have to wait while he's recovering from a correctable medical problem that required surgery. For now, however, we have Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased a collection of well-crafted songwriting and emotionally pure singing that's as fresh and valid now as it was when these songs were recorded, a rare talent ability that leaves us waiting for his next creative venture.



THE END!
