a single, "more than this", preceded the album and was a top 10 hit in britain, australia, and several european countries. the title track was released as the album's second single and also became a uk top 20 hit. a third extract, "take a chance with me", with a remixed version of album track "the main thing" on the b-side, reached the uk top 30 and was roxy music's last uk hit single to date. both "more than this" (no. 103) and "take a chance with me" (no. 104) performed relatively well in the united states, narrowly missing the american top 100.
