Imagination (Helen Reddy album). In the liner notes of Reddy's 1996 compilation CD When I Dream, Brian Giorgi explains that the changes in the music industry in 1983 that sealed the fate of this album were not just in top 40 radio programming. Changes were also taking place within her record company. The top level management which had brought her to MCA Records was gone

Imagination is the fourteenth studio album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1983 by MCA Records. As with the first of the two, 1981's Play Me Out, it did not reach Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart. Reddy was subsequently dropped from the record label after the release; in her 2006 autobiography, The Woman I Am: A Memoir, Reddy wrote, "I was not surprised when I received a form letter from 's legal department. The path from the planning stages for the album to its appearance on store shelves was not a smooth one. A story on Reddy from the September 19, 1981, issue of Billboard detailed some of what she had in mind for this second MCA project: "'I'll work on my next album around the end of the year or in January or February so it'll be ready for an Easter release,'" she told the magazine, but it didn't come.

Reddy's selections include tracks by singer-songwriters Carole King, John Lennon, Randy Newman, and Donovan

Helen Reddy, often referred to as the "Queen of 70s Pop", has recorded 17 studio albums, seven of which achieved sales of 500,000 units in the US for which they were awarded Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. One of those seven, I Am Woman, eventually went Platinum by reaching sales of one million copies, and her first compilation album, Helen Reddy's Greatest Hits, was awarded Double Platinum status in 1992 for hitting the two million sales mark

This is her longtime producer Joe Wissert taking Reddy where Kim Fowley attempted to go on Ear Candy, and doing an amazing job. "Handsome Dudes" is not the first time Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil are covered by Reddy, but it works better than "Songs" on Love Song for Jeffrey. The Dane Jeffries title track might as well be the Go Gos or Missing Persons; it's a really great new wave pop tune, served up on a vinyl 12" with an extended dance remix for good measure
