Wait for Night is an album by Australian singer-songwriter Rick Springfield, originally released by Chelsea Records in 1976. The album was reissued by RCA Records in 1982, and that version managed to crack into the Billboard album charts. The album was reissued on CD in 2010 by Wounded Bird Records. Stylistically, the album represented a move away from Springfield's 1970s light rock sound to the trademark arena-ready power pop/pop rock sound that Springfield would later find success with throughout the 1980s. It received a mostly favorable review from Stephen Thomas Erlewine of the All Music Guide.
Most of the instruments were performed by Rick Springfield himself with exception to drums which has been accredited to Nigel Olsson, a former drummer of Elton John. The album's opener "Take a Hand" would later be included in several 'best of' albums for Springfield, and it continues to a staple of Springfield's live performances.
