Info: The album probably surprised some, with 450,000 copies sold the LP went over the counter well and no one expected #1 on the Billboard LP charts. Before the release of ROUSTABOUT it was decided not to give the LP its own single release. Of interest to collectors, the album was only on sale with this label for about a month before being re-released with a new label.

Info: Das Album überraschte wohl einige, mit 450,000 verkauften Kopien ging die LP gut über den Ladentisch und mit Platz 1 in den Billboard LP Charts rechnete niemand. Vor der Veröffentlichung von ROUSTABOUT entschied man sich der LP keine eigene Single Auskopplung zu geben. Für Sammler interessant, das Album war mit diesem Label nur ca. einen Monat im Handel bevor es mit einem neuen Label wieder veröffentlicht wurde.
