By the time of this release in 1978, Thelma already had a couple of long-players behind her, including her debut which spawned her best-known recording, "Don't leave me this way".

This LP is a pleasant mix of disco and more downtempo numbers. It contains the original, short version of "Saturday night, Sunday morning", which was also included in its long form on the follow-up LP, "Ride to the rainbow". It also contains the original of "Love is comin' on", which was later covered by Simon Soussan's "Simon Orchestra".
