The album, first released in November 1974, peaked at #20 on the US album chart and was considered a bit uneven after "Machine Head" and "Who Do You Think We Are." At the time, the band was made up of Ritchie Blackmore (his last album with the group), David Coverdale, Glen Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice.

The album will be issued in a CD/DVD combo with the CD having the original album plus five bonus tracks and the DVD containing an original Quadraphonic mix album as 5.1 DTS 96/24 and the original album Quadrophonic mix stereo 48/24 with on screen images. A 2-LP vinyl set will also be issued with an additional three bonus tracks.
