The album, along with many other Survivor albums, was briefly taken out of print in 2009, but was remastered and reissued the following year and distributed by Rock Candy Records. The album includes the singles "Summer Nights" (#62, US Chart) and "Poor Man's Son" (#33, US Chart), one of the songs that would be part of their live set list. A song titled "Missing Persons" was recorded for the album but left out from the final cut.
