The album was released in March 1977 in the UK and unlike their previous album, failed to make the chart, despite featuring two hit singles. It was released in Europe in November 1976, under the name Midnight Express, without "Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In)", but with another song, "Bag of Money" in its place.[1] On some copies, this album was issued simply as Brotherhood of Man.
This album featured the singles "My Sweet Rosalie" and "Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In)" which were hits in Europe and reached No.30 and No.8 in the UK respectively.[2] Album tracks "I Give You My Love" and "New York City" were released as singles in various European countries in October 1976, with a planned release for the former in the UK, but ultimately abandoned.[3] "New York City" reached No.42 in France in late 1976.[4]
The style of the album's tracks followed in a similar vein to the pure pop introduced on "Save Your Kisses for Me" with member Martin Lee taking the lead vocals on many songs, a trend which was largely discontinued after this album. Like the group's other albums, the songs were produced by manager Tony Hiller.
Oh Boy! was released on Compact disc in a double set with Images in May 2009.[5]
