The album was originally released in 1974 on Casablanca Records and was to be the band's final album.  The album includes all of the original album tracks and features the original artwork. The CD booklet includes sleeve notes and a full discography.  It can't be underestimated how important the band are in rock music history. Their reputation was as musicians first and women second. Their ability, creativity and the level of success they achieved in this field was unprecedented.  This album was made without two of the original members, June Millington and Alice de Buhr, who'd moved on and they were replaced by Brie Howard and Suzi Quatro's sister Patti.  The band were the first all-female band to release an album on a major label.  One of the band's fans was David Bowie, who during an interview with Billboard in 1999 stated "One of the most important female bands in American rock has been buried without a trace. And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest...rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary... they're as important as anybody else who's ever been, ever, it just wasn't their time". Wise words as the interest level in the band increases through fan sites and forums around the world on the net.
