The Ballade is a Japanese-only compilation album by the American Rock band Journey. Released in 1991, it comprises fifteen of their most popular love songs, including the #2 chart hit "Open Arms, the top 40 hits "Faithfully," "I'll Be Alright Without You," "Who's Crying Now," and "Still They Ride". The songs featured on this compilation are from the U.S. releases Infinity, Evolution, Departure, Escape, Frontiers and Raised on Radio.
The album has been reissued throughout the years (as recently as 2006), however never domestically. Similar albums have been released by other artists on the same label; Santana, REO Speedwagon, Babyface and Toto. Of the artists mentioned, only REO Speedwagon and Babyface have had their versions released in the United States; the track list for the US editions of REO Speedwagon's The Ballads and Babyface's Love Songs are different from the Japanese editions.
All of the songs are full album versions.
