Pat Benatar - Precious Time - 1981 - Chrysalis Records - Rock - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1981 release of Precious Time by Pat Benatar on Chrysalis Records is a classic staple of the early 1980s rock scene and specifically represents the CRC Columbia Record Club edition as noted by the identifier on the back cover. Produced by Keith Olsen and Neil Giraldo, this vinyl LP features nine tracks that showcase Benatar’s powerful vocal range and the band’s hard rock energy, including the Grammy-winning hit Fire and Ice and the driving anthem Promises in the Dark. As her third studio album and the only one to reach number one on the Billboard 200, it captures a pivotal moment in her career when she blended rock aggression with melodic pop sensibilities. The tracklist also includes a high-voltage cover of The Beatles' Helter Skelter and Paul Revere & The Raiders' Just Like Me, making this a comprehensive addition for any collector looking to own a piece of rock history on a vintage 12-inch format.

Precious Time is widely considered one of Pat Benatar’s strongest works, earning her a third consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. It marked a transition toward a heavier, more collaborative sound with her guitarist and future husband, Neil Giraldo. The album’s success solidified her status as the "Queen of Rock" during the early MTV era.
