When Seconds Count is the sixth studio album by the American rock band Survivor, released in October 1986. The album included the hit single, "Is This Love", which peaked at #9 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1987. The album reached #49 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album cover was designed by Rick Valicenti and Craig Davidson in Chicago during the summer of 1986.
This is one of the many Survivor albums briefly taken out of print in 2009. However, it was remastered and reissued in 2011 and distributed by Rock Candy Records.
