Origins

The early history of Toto, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth.

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a more ferocious, constant effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra.
