Pleasure and Pain (Dr. Hook album)

Pleasure and Pain is the seventh album from the country rock band Dr. Hook. It featured two U.S. Top 10 hits, "Sharing the Night Together" and "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman". Both songs also became chart hits in the UK, Canada and Australia.

This particular Dr. Hook album was pressed with two different track line-ups. The first pressing, whose track listing is below, didn't include the song "All the Time in the World", as subsequent re-pressings did.

In September 1979 the album was certified Gold by the RIAA.
