Produced by Bob Clearmountain and Bryan Adams.  Recorded and mixed by Bob Clearmountain, March 1981 at the Power Station, New York.

We wrote "Lonely Nights" for Pat Benatar.  We were trying our best to copy the sound and feel of her hit single "Shadows Of The Night".  I think we tried getting the song to Pat, but if she ever heard it, I don't know.

For the musically inclined, the most obvious "Benatar influence" can be heard in the opening two chords of our verse, where we move from the "five" to the "one" chord, just as Benatar does for the opening two chords of the chorus in "Shadows Of The Night".

This was the first song we recorded for Bryan's "You Want It, You Got It" album.  In the summer of 1980, prior to Bob Clearmountain's involvement, Bryan booked a day at Little Mountain Sound in Vancouver.  With myself on bass and drums, Bryan on guitar, and Bob Rock engineering, we made an unsuccessful attempt at recording a "basic track" for Lonely Nights.
