Standing in the Dark (album)

Standing in the Dark was the first full-length album by Platinum Blonde. Released by Columbia/CBS Records Canada in 1983, it expanded on the band's original six-track EP. With the addition of four new tracks ("Standing in the Dark", "Sad Sad Rain", "Cast A Shadow", and "Leaders In Danger"), the album garnered the band their first taste of attention after going triple platinum in Canada.
