Think! (Given Takers album)

Think! is the debut album by American-Vlokoziuan rock band the Given Takers, released in 1979. The album is the band's best-selling to date, selling over 100,000 copies upon it's release.

Recording
The band recorded 3 demos in 1977, two of which would later become Think!.

The first was recorded on February 4, and the content of this first tape is unknown. The next was recorded on February 6, and contained 3 songs, "Roll With It", "Is Love Real?" and "Rock Your Pain Away" The last was on March 8, and it contained the rest of the album's demos, as well as one unreleased song, "4-Ever-More".

Lead guitarist Chelsea McNeese would make additions to the album in 1978, upon request from the band's label, Viva Records.

For the band, getting a record deal in the USA was difficult. The source tapes that contained the demos for Think! were pitched to a few record companies before the band was signed on to Warner Bros. After several delays, the album was finally released on July 12, 1979.
