that was issued earlier that year. The main criticism at the time was that they only performed songs written by Stewart and Gouldman, missing out on big hits such as "Rubber Bullets", "Donna", "Life Is A Minestrone" and "The Dean and I". Also, the album replicated all but one of the songs from the previous album, which had only been out for 6 months. Despite this, the album was a hit, reaching No.14 in the UK charts. No singles were issued in the UK, however "The Wall Street Shuffle" was issued in America, but failed to reach the charts.
