UPC 740155105235
Digitally remastered digipak edition of this 1981 album. Circle of Love features the hit singles 'Heart Like a Wheel' and 'Circle of Love', and also the 16 minute 'Macho City'. Taking up all of the album's second side, this political work became a New York loft party favorite. The booklet contains all the lyrics, and brand new notes by San Francisco journalist Joel Selvin.
Circle of Love is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Steve Miller Band. Released 23 October 1981 by Capitol Records, Circle of Love was the Steve Miller Band's first album of new material since the May 1977 release Book of Dreams. (The band's Greatest Hits 1974–78 compilation disc had been issued in November 1978.) In its original vinyl album format, Circle of Love featured a total of five tracks, Side 2 of the album comprising one extended track, "Macho City" (18:32). A much shorter edit of the track was later used for CD releases.
Although Circle of Love was certified Gold for sales of 500,000 units in December 1981 the album, with its lead single "Heart Like a Wheel" only managing to reach #24 in the US (and #17 in Canada), was a commercial disappointment in contrast to the band's three preceding albums which had all reached million-selling Platinum status.
