Wait for Night is an album by Australian singer-songwriter Rick Springfield. He originally released it through Chelsea Records in 1976. He later re-released it through RCA Records in 1982, and that version managed to crack into the Billboard album charts. A CD version has been available since July 2010 through Wounded Bird Records. Stylistically, the album represented a move away from his early 70s light rock sound to the trademark arena-ready power pop/pop rock sound that Springfield would later find success with over the 80s. It received a mostly favorable review from Stephen Thomas Erlewine of the All Music Guide.[1][2]
Most of the instruments were performed by Rick Springfield himself with exception to drums which has been accredited to Nigel Olsson, a former drummer of Elton John. The album's opener "Take a Hand" would later be included in several 'best of' albums for Springfield,[3] and it continues to a staple of Springfield's live performances.[2]
