It was originally released in November 1985. The album was recorded over a period of three months in 1985, at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of Palmer's later work. The album charted at number 8 in the US and No. 5 in the UK. It was certified double platinum in the US by the RIAA in March 1996 and certified gold in the UK by BPI in August 1986. It featured the songs "Addicted to Love", "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On", "Discipline of Love", and "Riptide" which were all released as singles.〔Whitburn, Joel (2006). The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits. Billboard Books〕〔Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums. London: Guinness World Records Limited〕 The single "Addicted to Love" was accompanied by a memorable and much-imitated music video, directed by Terence Donovan, in which Palmer is surrounded by a bevy of near-identically clad, heavily made-up (and appropriately pouty) female "musicians," either mimicking or mocking the painting style of Patrick Nagel. In September 1986, Palmer performed "Addicted to Love" at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.〔(1986 MTV Video Music Awards ) MTV.com. Retrieved 5 December 2011〕 In 1987, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Addicted to Love". At the 1987 Brit Awards, Palmer received his first nomination for Best British Male.〔(BRITs Profile: Robert Palmer ). Brits.co.uk. Retrieved 14 April 2012〕 Another single from ''Riptide'', his cover of Cherrelle's "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On", also performed well (US#2, UK#9).〔 Another song, "Trick Bag," was written by one of his major influences, New Orleans jazz artist Earl King. For the album, Palmer collaborated with two former members from The Power Station, guitarist Andy Taylor and drummer Tony Thompson. The Power Station's producer Bernard Edwards also played bass and produced the album. The album also features contributions from American Singer-songwriter Chaka Khan, Level 42's keyboardist Wally Badarou, and session musicians Guy Pratt, Jeff Bova, Eddie Martinez, and Jack Waldman (who died a year after the album's release〔http://www.artistswithaids.org/national/registry.html#musicians〕). ==2013 reissue== ''Riptide'' was reissued on 30 April 2013 by Culture Factory USA, an independent label that specialises in cult artists. The reissue CD was packaged in a miniature replica of the original quality vinyl packaging complete with an inner sleeve that features the original lyrics, photographs of Palmer and credits for the album. The label side of the CD features a replica of what the original Island label looked like at the time of issue and even features "grooves" as if the black CD is made of vinyl. The reissues did not have any additional outtakes or bonus tracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riptide (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
