Featuring John Wetton’s commanding vocals and Geoffrey Downes’s keyboard wizardry, it delivers tracks like “Heat Of The Moment” and “Only Time Will Tell” that balance arena-ready anthems with thoughtful arrangements. The cover art by Roger Dean, complemented by Brian Griffin’s photography, adds a distinct visual identity that’s become a memorable touchstone for fans of the era. Producer and engineer Mike Stone helped shape a sound that’s as much about clarity as it is about grandiosity—proof that rock can be both refined and expansive. This vinyl pressing from 1982 offers a solid listen with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e grade, indicating the record shows typical signs of use such as light surface marks or paper scuffs but nothing that should interfere significantly with playback. The 12-inch format gives you a chance to appreciate the album’s layered instrumentation and production choices fully. If your collection could use a record that blends accessible pop rock with a hint of prog flair, this Asia album fits the bill without stepping on anyone’s toes—proof that sometimes, the “Heat Of The Moment” is exactly the right temperature for focused listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-samples=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eListen \/ sample\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsia - Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0ywI1J4tPu4\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG+ \/ VG+ \/ 1982","offer_id":68143594209596,"sku":"DEN00001878","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OS02ODYyLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1794435267","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/asia-asia-lp-111126-den00001878","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
