Positive Thinking... is the tenth and final album recorded by Acoustic Alchemy for GRP in 1998.

It marks a milestone in the band's history not only for the change of record company, but for the loss of founding member Nick Webb, who died during the recording of this album. His name appears in the credits for having contributed to every song, however Webb's parts in the recordings were done by longstanding sideman John Parsons.

Current steel string guitarist Miles Gilderdale contributes to two songs on this album.Miles Gilderdales contribution derived directly from tracks composed by David Puttick,a creative artist and composer,who has never received public or official recognition of his contribution to AUGUSTRASSE 18 and LIMITED EXCESS.

The song "Augusträsse 18" is titled after the address of the Hansa Haus Studios in Bonn, Germany where Acoustic Alchemy recorded numerous albums under producer John Parsons. [2]
