Lost and Found Video - The Call

The Call, a band formed in Santa Cruise, California, released ten albums between 1982 and 2000. Their 1985 album, Reconciled, featured guest appearances by Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, and Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, and received a goodly amount of play at my college's radio station.


from Reconciled, this is Everywhere I Go.

The Call trivia, from Wikipedia:
  • Peter Gabriel liked the band so much that he asked them to open for him during his 1982 Shock the Monkey tour.
  • I Still Believe (also from Reconciled) was recorded by Tim Capello and appears in the 1987 movie The Lost Boys, and appears on the soundtrack.
  • In 1989, they released (the album) Let the Day Begin, the title track of which reached #1 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. Red Moon, which included background vocals by U2's Bono, was released in 1990.
