AllMusic[2]

To You All is the second studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus, released on 29 April 1977 through Schnoutz Records.

The line-up of Krokus changed radically from their debut album as founding members Chris von Rohr and Tommy Kiefer were joined by Fernando von Arb, Jürg Naegeli, and Freddy Steady, previously active as a trio under the name Montezuma.[3] It was the first album to feature the Krokus logo on the cover and their first video clip was shot for "Highway Song". To You All had limited success in Switzerland.[3]
