Heart is the self-titled 8th album released by Heart, in 1985. The album completed the band's transition into a pop group, a genre that yielded the band its greatest success by far, as demonstrated in this album. The album marked the band's Capitol Records debut, and it spent 92 weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200 and became the first and only album of the band's to hit number one. Sales reached quintuple platinum, and the band was officially back in business after a lull in sales. This album also yielded the first number-one single for the band: "These Dreams". There were also four other hit singles on the album: "If Looks Could Kill", "What About Love", "Never", and "Nothin' at All". The latter 3 also made the U.S. top ten.
"If Looks Could Kill" and "Nothin' At All"
The tracks "If Looks Could Kill" and "Nothin' At All" both have alternate mixes (as on their music videos), and these mixes had also been pressed onto some release runs of this album, be it on LP, CD or cassette. One may get a copy with both songs in their original mixes, both in their alternate mixes, or one song in a different mix. Copies with serial No. SL-12410, for example, features the alternate mix for "If Looks Could Kill," but the original mix for "Nothin' At All."
