It was released in 1979 on Rialto Records in the UK Warner Bros. Records in the US.

Critical reception [ edit ]
Upon its release, James Belsey of the Bristol Evening Post The Korgis a "truly attractive debut album of perfectionist pop", with "unmistakable influences from John Lennon " and a "string of witty, mature tracks".[3] Grimsby Evening Telegraph Stackridge days and produced "one very charming album [of ] 10 songs, each [with] its own distinct qualities". He added, "I love the simplistic feel of the whole affair and the way it all slots so perfectly together. A very, very welcome release."[4]
