Information

The album was produced in 1985/1986. It was the second album by Bolland & Bolland. The first single was The Sound of Musik. The song was quite successful, also outside the German speaking countries. The next single was Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2), which reached top of German charts. It was about Jeanny, who had disappeared for one year and still wasn't found.

The album's cover, a still from the promotional video for the title track, is an homage to a similar backdrop used by Elvis Presley in his 1968 "comeback special."
