I seem to only remember the freaky video of Hodgeson (nude, and in a cover-up--and I knew it was "the Supertramp singer" because of the voice) and the song, "Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)" lasting nearly-nine-minutes...

Not much promotion needed in the way of radio-play, beyond what was still Underground... At least, if only the familiar name still brought pleasure to 'Tramp cultists, reaching beyond the familiar sphere for a bit more of what individually it could do...

Had A Dream and In Jeopardy were the singles from the album and both made my weekly personal top 40 chart back then.

I have this Cd and i still Enjoy it even long after the two aformentioned singles were forgotten. They were very topical for the time. ( and IMO EVEN MORE SO TODAY.)
it felt more like a supertramp album in some way but not quite completely. But still a very enjoyable listen.
