Thunder behind closed doors full album


Behind Closed Doors is the third album by English band Thunder. The follow-up to the Top 5 album Laughing on Judgement Day, the album was released in 1995. It reached number 5 on the UK Album Chart upon release, but the three singles released from it only enjoyed moderate success (two of the three peaking outside the top 30 of the UK Singles Chart, although "Stand Up" reached number 23). A remastered & expanded 2-CD version of the album was released by EMI in 2010, with the second CD containing a variety of live tracks, demos and B-sides.
