Background
This album reached 10th place in the UK Albums Chart, making it the group's best-ranked album. It also reached number one on the Austrian charts. In 1976, it was certified as a platinum record in Canada.
The single, a cover of Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight", reached number 11 on the UK charts and number one on the German charts. Joni Mitchell, who recorded this song in 1971 for her album Blue, was impressed by the band's cover and sometimes humorously introduced her live performances of the song at concerts by saying "I'm going to perform a Nazareth song."[3]
