About The Record:

Like the band's previous album, The Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight also achieved triple-platinum certification, thanks to the hit singles Sing for the Day, Blue Collar Man and Renegade. The theme of the album, as Dennis DeYoung explained on In the Studio with Redbeard which devoted an entire episode to Pieces of Eight, was about "not giving up your dreams just for the pursuit of money and material possessions".
