You Want It You Got It
''You Want It, You Got It'' is the second studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, released on 21 July 1981 by A&M Records. Background and recording This was the album that established the sound that Adams has retained throughout his recording career. Unlike Adams' debut album where he and Jim Vallance played most of the instruments themselves, ''You Want It You Got It'' was recorded live in the studio.

The album was originally to be titled ''Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard Of You Either'' (due to critics' indifference to his first album and singles) but Adams' sense of humour didn't make it past the gatekeepers at the record company, who opted for the safer title.
