Where he actually records all the material for the album, only "What Can I Do" was recorded at London's Audio International Studios. Did you make a record, where would you think? On the iconic Abbey Road!

Mike Chapman produced the album, and it's noticeable, as they say, "with an unarmed ear," his signature violins are unmistakable.The album turned out to be very solid, it listens in one breath, not a single passing thing, it was on it that the very "branded" sound was finally formed, for which we loved Smokie so much. The album was released on April 9, 1976, the producer is EMI records, the copyright to the recording belongs to RAK records, on apples The company's RAC sailboat is on display. To promote the album, 3 singles were released during 1976: "Something's Been Making Me Blue", "Wild Wild Angels" and "I'll Meet You At Midnight". All of them came from the pen of Double Che, all were successful, and "I'll Meet You At Midnight" generally became the number on duty of all pioneer discos of the Soviet Union. ...more
