Although never released in America, all but four tracks ("When A Man Loves A Woman", "Dust My Blues", "On the Green Light", and "Neighbour Neighbour") were released there either as album tracks or as B-sides.

The album peaked at number 4 on the UK chart on October 15, 1966 during a 20 week chart run.[4]

Reception

The AllMusic retrospective review by Richie Unterberger commented that "At the peak of their popularity, the Spencer Davis Group's albums were considerably less impressive than their hits", and criticized the album for relying too heavily on covers. However, they named the original songs "Somebody Help Me," "High Time Baby," "On the Green Light," and "When I Come Home" as highlights.[1]
