By the end of the 1970s, Smokie seemed more or less spent as a serious commercial force, although they continued racking up the hit singles, sporadically at home and consistently in Germany. This album, however, caught them during one of their fallow patches, midway between the peaks of "Mexican Girl" and "Take Good Care of My Baby," and it was very easy to overlook it entirely…

Peter Matern is a well-known saxophonist on the German jazz scene having been recording and performing for the past thirty years (twenty of them in the quartet he leads with an unchanged line-up), this album is nonetheless something different and very special./quote]
