All Over the Place was The Bangles' first full length album for Columbia Records. Released in 1984, it is generally considered to be their best album. The sound is lively, shows more Bangles collaboration and less keyboard overdubs that were used later on their more commercially successful albums. Although Different Light is known as their definitive album, All Over The Place was the record that was sorely overlooked. Yet, not by all, since it gave them the chance to perform as opening act on high tours like Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis & The News, as well as winning the eye of a very mysterious man in purple.

Two singles were released from this album, "Hero Takes a Fall", which peaked outside the U.S. Top 40, and "Going Down to Liverpool" which won the Bangles the BPI Award, the British equivalent of the Grammy.

"James" was originally sung by Vicki but was relegated to Susanna by the time the album was recorded. "Hero Takes a Fall" was given a subtle remix for it's single release. It was backed by the non-album track "Where Were You When I Needed You", a cover of the Grass Roots tune. (This was later included in the Bangles Greatest Hits album.)
