Positive Thinking... is the tenth and final album recorded by Acoustic Alchemy for GRP, released on May 19, 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.
The song "Augustrasse 18" is titled after the address of the Hansahaus-Studios in Bonn, Germany (actually written Auguststraße) where Acoustic Alchemy recorded numerous albums under producer John Parsons.[3][4]
