The Outfield Biography

The Baseball Boys, consisting of bassist/singer Tony Lewis, guitarist/keyboardist John Spinks, and drummer Alan Jackman, played around London and recorded some early demos, catching Columbia/CBS Records' interest. Soon after, they were signed and began production on their debut album, Play Deep, which was released in 1985. The album was a tremendous hit, selling triple platinum and reaching number nine on the album charts, as well as spawning their biggest hit, Your Love, a Top Ten hit. They went on a worldwide tour to promote the record, opening for Journey and Starship. In 1986, they began recording their second album, Bangin', which was released in 1987. While it failed to match their debut's massive economic success, it did generate two smash singles, Since You've Been Gone and No Surrender. The band's third album was more methodically produced than their prior efforts and included a stylistic change. The band's economic success was fading when Voices of Babylon, published in 1988, generated a song with the same name. After Jackman quit the band after the album was finished, they hired Paul Reed as a replacement drummer for the Voices tour.
