Future Eyes is the title of the first solo album by the Scottish singer Sheila Walsh. Recorded in Spring 1981 at Chapel Lane Studios near Hereford, engineered and produced by Paul Cobbold. It was released in the UK in 1981 on Chapel Lane Records. Sparrow Records released a slightly modified version for the North American market in 1982. Several tracks were remixed by adding more guitar, removing some synthesizers, and adding some different background vocals. "Breaking the Ice" and "He Weeps for Our Tears" were removed while "Burn On" was added. The track order was also changed. Larry Norman was given producer credits on the Sparrow release for his remixing and editing work on "Love in My Life" and "You're so Important to Me".
