Review

 

Far Corporation released its first album Division One in 1985 on IMP/ATCO Records. Some of the musicians record producer Frank Farian assembled for this project include vocalist Robin McAuley, drummer Simon Phillips, ex-Saga drummer Curt Cress, and three members of Toto: vocalist Bobby Kimball, keyboardist David Paich, and guitarist Steve Lukather. Their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" reached #8 on the UK Singles Chart. Contrary to public perception, Far Corporation was actually the first group to make the singles charts with this song as Led Zeppelin had never released it as a single. Also included on the album was a cover of Free's "Fire and Water" (their second single).
