Quick Facts Go for Your Life, Studio album by Mountain ...

It was the first Mountain album to not feature production or performance from Felix Pappalardi, who had been shot and killed by his wife Gail Collins in 1983. The album's closing track, "Little Bit of Insanity", was dedicated to Pappalardi's memory, and the album cover artwork was also designed with the fallen bassist/producer in mind. "What we wanted to do was give the feeling of someone looking up from their grave. And you can tell that's exactly what's going on with the image we used," said Leslie West in 2013.[1]

The album features bassist Mark Clarke, who had been a member of Uriah Heep and Colosseum, and was produced by Pete Solley, who had worked with a diverse range of artists including The Rolling Stones, Oingo Boingo and The Allman Brothers Band. It charted at #166 in the US charts when released in March 1985.
