Reckless, Bryan Adams' fourth album, signaled his arrival into superstardom. It became one of his most successful albums, and arguably his biggest album to date in terms of artistic quality. Released in 1984 by A&M Records and produced by Adams and Bob Clearmountain (who also engineered), the album propelled to #1 on the Billboard charts and sold over 5 million copies in the US on the strength of 6 massive hits: "Summer of '69", "Somebody", "Run to You", "One Night Love Affair", the Tina Turner duet "It's Only Love", and finally Adams's first # 1 hit, "Heaven".
The album was originally released on Bryan's 25th Birthday (November 5, 1984) simultaneously with a video.
