CD Tiffany – Hold An Old Friend's Hand

Released in November 1988 by MCA Records, Hold An Old Friend's Hand is the second studio album from American pop sensation Tiffany. Produced by George Tobin, this follow-up to her massive debut showcases a more "consistently realized" and refined sound, moving Tiffany beyond her initial mall-tour success into a more mature musical landscape.

The album is a vibrant blend of late-80s Teen Pop and Bubblegum Pop, while incorporating sophisticated elements of rock, disco, funk, and even country pop. Critics noted a significant improvement in production over her debut, featuring a "pumping" mix of swirling synths, heavy Simmons drums, and melodic guitar solos that allowed Tiffany to showcase her impressive vocal range.

• "All This Time": A top ten US hit featuring pretty melodies and a gentle, Cyndi Lauper-inspired atmosphere.
• "Radio Romance": A high-energy, disco-infused romp that became a major UK hit.
• "Hold An Old Friend's Hand": The title track and third single, a soulful cover of the Tracy Nelson song featuring a classic 80s saxophone solo.
• "Oh Jackie": An upbeat, guitar-driven pop favorite that highlights the album's energetic pace.
• "We’re Both Thinking Of Her": A standout track leaning into 80s rock territory with "chugging" basslines and gritty guitars.

Whether you are a collector of 80s synth-pop or a fan of Tiffany’s powerful vocals, this CD is a must-have piece of pop history that captures a young artist at the height of her chart-topping era.
