I had this on vinyl as a teenager, and I had to buy it again on CD because this is just the campy, quintissential Peter Allen. Favorite? "Just Another Make Out Song." LOVE this one!
 Great but not your typical vocalist "from next door" April 7, 2008
All Music Guide says that this is the album that would have made New York cabaret singer turned L.A. pop singer Peter Allen a chart name.
However since his background was not only Australian but he got his start from Judy Garland (who never lived to see him as a star) and the one and only Liza Minnelli who he married in 1967 and divorced around 1974. The title itself is a tribute to Garland- remember "The Boy Next Door" fromMeet Me In St. Louis
Anyway this was his last album after signing off from A&M. His last album
Bi-Coastal produced by the one and only David Foster was the closest thing to him being a pop star. The highlights include the catchy "You Haven't Heard the Last of Me", the Barry Manilow style
"Just Another Make Out Song" (co-written with David Foster) and "Once Before I Go" which was written for Ann Margaret (she never recorded it but often sang it in concerts.

I have this on vinyl. It was my parents record originally. "Once Before I Go" is gorgeous, and most of the rest is extremely catchy. Some might find this too campy or just plain tacky, but from hearing this album since I was a kid, I've grown quite fond of it. As a musician it goes against my general sense of taste, but this sort of thing is not about ascetics. Sorry, it just ain't.
