Singles

"Stairway to the Stars" was withheld from the RCA album release and later issued as a single as a follow-up to "Lost Angels" and "Fever of Love". All three singles proved to be commercial flops (except some countries like Sweden, Germany, Austria, South Africa, and Denmark, where all or some broke the top 10 and 20).

Songs covered

The German power metal act Gamma Ray covered "Lost Angels" on their 2013 Master of Confusion EP.
