It was not released in the United States until late 1977.
All
the album's lyrics were written by Richard Palmer, since none of the
other members of Supertramp were willing to write any. Palmer himself
later said that he considered writing lyrics "like having to do school
work" at the time. The music to the songs were all composed jointly by
Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson.
The album was recorded entirely at
Morgan Studios in night sessions running from 12 midnight to 6 am, due
to a superstition on the part of the band members (fuelled by their
having heard that Traffic and Spooky Tooth recorded at late hours) that
there was some "magic" to recording at night. Hodgson later recalled
"Invariably our engineer, Robin Black, would fall asleep on us in the
middle of the sessions, which were pretty intense as it was, because we
fought a lot with Richard Palmer." He was fond of the resulting album,
however, and commented over a decade later that "It was very naive, but
it has a good mood to it."
To promote the album, the band played at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970, held a few weeks after release.
Songs
from this album, including "Words Unspoken" and "I Am Not Like Other
Birds of Prey", were used as part of the soundtrack for the UK film
Extremes (1971), along with music from other groups.
