In is the third studio album by the Outsiders. It is the first album released by the band that did not make the Billboard charts. [2]
The album was released in the LP format on Capitol in January 1967 in both monaural and stereophonic editions (catalogue numbers T 2636 and ST 2636, respectively).
Although never released individually as a CD, the band's third and fourth albums were reissued on Liberty Bell as a "two-fer" CD (catalogue number PCD-4366), along with bonus tracks.
The album's cover uses a photograph from the same photo session as the photos on the front and back cover of Album #2 , recognizable from the scenery and the fact that all five band members are wearing the same outfits. Clockwise from the bottom, the members are Sonny Geraci, Mert Madsen, Bill Bruno, Ricky Baker, and Tom King.
The fourth and fifth singles released by the Outsiders are included on this album. "Help Me Girl" was the last Top 40 single by the Outsiders and competed with a version by the Animals that was released in the same time period. The B side, "You Gotta Look" was written by Bob Turek, who was now augmenting the songwriting partnership of Tom King and Chet Kelley; both sides of the next single, "I'll Give You Time (to Think it Over)" and "I'm Not Trying To Hurt You" were written by all three of them, as were two additional tracks on the album, "Haunted by Your Love" and "It's Your Love". "I'll Give You Time" was the first Outsiders single which failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100, and features a haunting tone that differs sharply from their typically upbeat singles.
This album included the second recording (the first was by an all-female band called the Models, in 1966) of "Bend Me, Shape Me", more than a year before the song became a U.S. hit for the American Breed and a U.K. hit for Amen Corner. In February 1967 – one month after this album was released – "Kind of a Drag" became a number one hit for the Buckinghams.
The first two tracks are both sides of the second single that was released by Sonny Geraci for the new band that he organized in Los Angeles; the single was released under the name "the Outsiders" but was later credited to Climax. The earlier single released in this manner was included in the bonus tracks on the first of the two Liberty Bell CDs. The next two tracks are from a single released by the Outsiders under Tom King's direction, when he reorganized the band in Cleveland; the new lead singer replacing Geraci was Jon Simonell. "Waiting for the End to Come" and "Park Preserve" are other selections by Climax.
When released by Liberty Bell, the CD included the tracks on this album in the same order as on that LP, followed by the tracks on Happening Live! in the same order, then these bonus tracks:
"Gimme Some Lovin'" is a song first recorded by the Spencer Davis Group. Released as a single in 1966, it reached the Top 10 of the record charts in several countries. Later, Rolling Stone included the song on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs.
The Spencer Davis Group were a British band formed in Birmingham in 1963 by Spencer Davis (guitar), brothers Steve Winwood and Muff Winwood, and Pete York (drums). Their best known songs include the UK number ones "Somebody Help Me" and "Keep on Running", "I'm a Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin'", which reached #2 in the UK and #7 in the US.

This disc sold over one million copies and was certified gold by the RIAA on February 21, 1972.

Shot in the Dark is the second studio album by the American rock band Great White, released in 1986. It was originally released by Telegraph Records and distributed by Greenworld Entertainment. Later that same year it was picked up and re-issued by Capitol Records. The original issue featured a different intro to "She Shakes Me", a different recording entirely of the song "Run Away", and a different mix of the several tracks. Great White's music in this album shows the transition from the pure heavy metal of the first album to a more blues-influenced style of heavy metal, paying homage to the great rock bands of the 1970s, like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. This was the first album to feature drummer Audie Desbrow.
