When the Lights Go Out is a studio album by American singer and actress Pia Zadora, released in 1988 by CBS Records. The album was reissued in July 2014 as a 2-CD set.

Background[edit]

The set was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1987 and was intended to be released in the United States on Epic Records, but those plans were scrapped and was instead released in Europe through CBS Records,^[1] where it failed to chart in that region. Its only release from that album, "Dance Out of My Head," peaked at number 65 in the United Kingdom.^[2]

On July 28, 2014, US label Funky Town Grooves reissued the album in a 2-CD set, with the entire tracks remastered on one CD while the second CD contained 6 unreleased remixed versions of "Dance Out of My Head" and 5 unreleased remixes of "Heartbeat of Love" from the studio album Pia Z (1989). This marked the first time that the album was released in the United States since Epic's decision to shelve the release stateside.^[3]
