Singles release

Four of the songs from this album made their way onto 45 rpm singles: "Amarillo" with its B-side "The Leaving Game", and "Alone At Last" with its B-side "Sleazy Love". "Amarillo" reached #44 on the US pop charts; "Alone At Last" failed to crack the Hot 100.

Notes

"Amarillo" had originally been written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield for the British pop star Tony Christie, who made a #18 hit out of it. Later in the 2000s, "Amarillo" would enjoy newfound popularity thanks to comedian Peter Kay using the Tony Christie version in a number for Comic Relief.
Captain & Tenille produced a cover version of "You Never Done It Like That" in 1978, which went to #10 on the US pop charts.
