Next Position Please is the seventh studio album by American rock band Cheap Trick, produced by Todd Rundgren and released August 15, 1983.
The title track was originally demoed for the band’s 1979 album Dream Police, which had lead singer Robin Zander, lead guitarist Rick Nielsen, and bassist Tom Petersson each singing a verse. The song did not go beyond a demo, but it was referenced in “High Priest of Rhythmic Noise”, a track from 1980’s All Shook Up. “Position” was eventually re-recorded for this album, and features only Zander singing.
