Information/Write-up

RCA's attempt at capitalizing on the act that they let go of prematurely was mostly a fail, both critically and commercially. Instead of including songs that got the most radio airplay and did the most damage on the charts, RCA opted to have someone who knew nothing about the band pick the songs. Richard Robinson, the person who compiled the 18 tracks which make up One Fine Light, went for all album picks, with the exception of just one song: "If There Ever Was A Time". Three other key components, "Could You Be Concerned", "Feel So Good", and "The Chant" are nowhere to be found. The latter two of which were Lighthouse's biggest hits on RCA. Based on the information I could find, this album wasn't even released in Canada either. It's almost as if they WANTED it to sell poorly. Now that's not to say that these 17 album cuts are bad; there's just three essential songs missing.
