Turn Back (album)



Turn Back is the third studio album by the American rock group Toto. Although it achieved the band's first top-ten hit and steady sales in Japan, the album was a commercial disappointment elsewhere, failing to produce any charting singles and selling approximately 900,000 copies worldwide.

The group nearly lost their recording contract with Columbia Records but rebounded with 1982's Toto IV.
