Information/Write-up

First Glance is the seventh studio album by Canadian rock band April Wine, released in March 1978. First Glance became the band's first gold record outside Canada. The energetic, blues-y standout track "Roller" peaked at number 24 on the RPM 100 Singles chart in Canada and number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. April Wine opened for The Rolling Stones, Rush, and Nazareth, and scored numerous platinum and gold-selling records in Canada and the US during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1977, armed with an additional brand new guitarist named Brian Greenway, April Wine signed a worldwide deal with Capitol-EMI. Myles Goodwyn, who produced First Glance, decided that this would be a true "rock" record, with no soft rock or easy listening music on it.
