Page "Toto (band)" Paragraph 10

In early 1981, Toto released their third album, Turn Back.

The album was a venture into arena rock and featured heavier guitar and fewer keyboards than on the previous two records.

Ultimately, Turn Back failed to earn the radio play or critical acclaim of either of the previous two releases and the song " Goodbye Elenore " was the only official single released worldwide.

Due to the release's commercial disappointment, the band minimized their promotional touring efforts.

Sales of the album stalled at 900, 000 copies worldwide and nearly lost Toto their recording contract with Columbia Records.
