With Robin Zander now on vocals, the band recorded a demo in 1975 and played in warehouses, bowling alleys, and various other venues around the midwestern United States. The band was signed to Epic Records in early 1976. The band released its first album, "Cheap Trick", in early 1977. While favored by critics, the album did not sell well. The album's lone single, "Oh, Candy", failed to chart, as did the album. Their second album, "In Color", was released later that year. The singles "I Want You To Want Me" and "Southern Girls" failed to chart. However, in 2012, "In Color" was ranked No. 443 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
