Reception
The first single "What Is Life" reached #18 in Ireland,[1] and #16 in UK.[2] but the album itself was a commercial failure when released in the UK on Pye International in 1972.
The cover art, done in blue tint, was later used (in a blueish-green tint) as the cover of the US release of Let Me Be There on MCA Records in 1973, following the success of the hit single penned by John Rostill.
