Prone
"Prone" was to be released as Ned Doheny's third album in USA in 1978. However, Doheny lost his deal with CBS and thus this album was never released in USA. In spite of his commercial failure in his home country, Doheny kept his popularity here in Japan and then he performed live in December 1978, which made this unreleased third album released only in Japan in 1979. The original LP version was released with different jacket artworks and also should be noted that the album opening track "To Prove My Love" was instrumental version. However, when the album was reissued on CD in 1991, "To Prove My Love" was replaced with its vocal version.
