The album was completed in four or five weeks and “Don't Stop Believin'” made it up to Number 9. (“Open Arms” became Journey's highest-charting single at Number 2.) Today, Elson says of the song, “Hearing it now, I have the same feeling I had when I first heard it in the studio — wow! The best memories I'll ever have of that band is that group of guys. Everybody was so funny and quick. We all laughed a lot, there was a lot of teasing and joking. Steve Perry's favorite saying was, ‘Let's roll, let's roll, time's money, time's money.'” Incredibly, that multi-Platinum album cost about $85,000 to make.
The good old days............
