Crashes (album)

Crashes is the second album by the British power pop band the Records, released in 1980 by Virgin Records.

Reception
Crashes did not chart in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 album chart at number 204. Rolling Stone published a favourable review of the album upon its initial release.

Retrospectively, Trouser Press called the album a "passable, but hardly a great follow-up" to Shades in Bed.

Track listing
All songs written by Will Birch and John Wicks except where noted.
