The follow-up album to the immensely successful AWB in 1974, recording was plagued by creative and artistic differences, with several members of the band walking out of the studio on three occasions.[citation needed] One point of conflict was the band's mourning for original drummerRobbie McIntosh, who died of a heroin overdose in 1974.[citation needed] Producer Arif Mardin considered pulling the plug on the project due to this tension but ultimately persevered and oversaw its completion.[citation needed]
