Julian Lennon The Secret Value Of Daydreaming (1986)
The Secret Value Of Daydreaming (West German Pressing)\n\nOriginally Released 1986\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: On The Secret Value of Daydreaming, the follow-up to his successful debut, Julian Lennon emphasizes his mainstream pop leanings by adding a tighter, more polished production which brings out the best in his songs.
