Winger : Winger (Expanded Edition)
AND JUST
WHEN I THOUGHT
SHE WAS COMING TO MY DOOR
SHE WHISPERED SWEET
AND BROUGHT ME TO THE FLOOR

Winger
is the debut
studio album
by American
Rock Band
The album was
released through
Atlantic Records
in 1988
and was
produced
by Beau Hill.
Background
The music was
radio-friendly,
but with a
progressive twist.
The lyrics,
however,
were typical
of the age
and genre.
The name
"Sahara"
appears in the
lower right
hand section
of the
album cover.
The band initially
wanted to call themselves
"Sahara",
but that name
was taken by
another band
at the time.
Though they
ultimately chose
the name
Winger,
"Sahara"
remained on
the cover.
A number of radio
and video hits
were extracted
from the album,
including
"Headed for a Heartbreak"
and
"Seventeen",
peaking at No. 19
and No. 26
at the
Billboard's
single chart.
On February 11, 1989,
the album peaked at
number 21
on the
Billboard 200,
and after that stayed
on the chart for
63 weeks.
It achieved
platinum status
in the
United States
and went gold
in Canada
and Japan.
In support
of the album,
Winger toured
for over a year with
Bad Company,
The Scorpions,
Cinderella,
Bon Jovi,
Poison,
Skid Row
and
Tesla.
Promotional videos
were shot
for the four singles
"Madalaine",
"Seventeen",
"Headed for a Heartbreak"
and
"Hungry".
