The band was a combination of the groups ROUNDABOUT (featuring Blackmore, Lord and Simper) and THE MAZE (featuring Evans and Paice). Blackmore, Lord and Simper had been in the music business for years, Evans and Paice for not quite as long, but none of them had ever tasted major success before the release of the album. The album was released in September and made #24, while the single off it, Hush, made #4. Most of the initial set list was taken off this album together with other covers. Of these songs, Hush and Mandrake Root were the most popular; Hush being re-recorded in 1988, and Mandrake Root clocking in at an unbelievable time of 28:42 on a live album.
