| Face to Face chronology | |
Confrontation is the second album by the Boston band Face to Face. It was produced in part by Arthur Baker.[2]
Like the 1984 debut, most of the songs were written by Angelo, with Laurie Sargent credited as co-writer on half. The record was not a commercial success and would be their last release on Epic Records. Many vinyl pressings in circulation can be found with a gold promo stamp on the back cover, making the non-promo copy more desirable to collectors due to its rarity.
"Tell Me Why" was released as a single in the United States.

Trouser Press concluded that "the routine presentation and sound make this Confrontation too radio-ready to be interesting."[1]
Reissue
