in the uk the album's lead single was the john martyn composition "man in the station" which matthews would in 2014 cite as one of his two favorite tracks off the album (the other being his own "let there be blues"), with successive single release then afforded the tracks "king of the night" and "give me an inch" before "shake it" was issued as a uk single in february 1979, the last-named then nearing its #13 us chart peak: none of these singles garnered interest in the uk where the parent "stealin' home" album was resultantly also overlooked.
