Recorded amidst a challenging period marked by internal band tensions and a rushed production due to touring demands in Germany, the album features a notable cover of Emmylou Harris' \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBoulder to Birmingham\u003c\/span\u003e, which reached No. 10 in New Zealand charts. Despite its quality, with singer Allan Clarke considering it the band's best of the era, the album faced commercial struggles, and three singles—\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHello To Romance\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAmnesty\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWriting On The Wall\u003c\/span\u003e—failed to chart. The album's cover art, photographed in Bremerhaven's Stadthalle, was a concept from drummer Bobby Elliott, and its recording included session musicians like keyboardists Hans-Peter Arnesen and Pete Wingfield. Historically significant for capturing the Hollies' attempt to adapt to the late 1970s music scene, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Crazy Steal\u003c\/span\u003e reflects their resilience despite lineup instability, with Clarke briefly leaving the band post-release before returning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793751961881,"sku":"JE-35334","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-hollies-a_crazy_steal.jpg?v=1783554452","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/je-35334","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
