Singles

"Stairway to the Stars" was withheld from the RCA album release and later issued as a single after two others - "Lost Angels" and "Fever of Love"'. All three singles proved to be commercial flops (except some countries like Sweden, Germany, Austria, South Africa and Denmark, where all or some broke Top 10 and 20).

Personnel

• Brian Connolly – lead vocals
• Steve Priest – bass, harmonica, co-lead vocals on "She Gimme Lovin'" and "Hard Times"
• Andy Scott – guitars, synthesizers, backing vocals
• Mick Tucker – drums
