Initially, it was planned to release the song “Backwater” as a single, but eventually the song “Break the Rules” was released in April 1974, which reached number 8 in the UK ^[2] .

In May of the same year, the album itself was released, which managed to reach the second place in the charts ^[2] . In retrospect, the album is considered the most difficult. Perhaps this is due to the influence of bassist Alan Lancaster , who is credited with co-writing six tracks out of eight.

In the UK, the cover of the album contained an advertising insert with the image of the group during the concert and lyrics.
