No Glasses Needed

Description

No Glasses Needed is the major label debut album by the American alternative rock band In 3D, released on Refuge Records in 1985, distributed by The Benson Company. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by the band at Opus Studios.

The album also features Jeff Pollard of LeRoux on background vocals (probably best known in the CCM world as one of the lead vocalists on Kerry Livgren‘s solo debut album Seeds of Change) and Glenn Kaiser of Resurrection Band on guitar.
