Recording edit

The producer of the album Jeffrey Lesser was, according to songwriter/singer Dave Cousins, "...a great engineer but didn't understand the dynamics of the band".[2] The album was intended to be the final one by the band but Cousins was persuaded to carry on when he met with Clive Davis of Arista Records.[3] The final track here "Goodbye" was meant to be his final word on his career leading the band.[4]
