The first single from the album, "Nobody," failed to chart, as did the album itself. The single was re-released in October 1974 with a slightly edited length of 3:27[2] after the group had become a highly successful touring and recording act, peaking at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Nobody" was later re-recorded for the group's 2010 album, World Gone Crazy.
