Saxophonist and vocalist Rod Novak said of the album "We recorded 'Dancing in the Moonlight' in Paris in the fall of 1971 and after it flopped in Europe, we disappeared to lick our wounds. In the short couple months we were incommunicado, DITM started up the charts in the U.S. and our illustrious record company in France (Musidisc) gave the tapes that they had to the little American company (Perception Records) that leased DITM and Voila!, our first American album." Novak noted the band quickly put together "the album which should have been", but Perception "went bankrupt before we could release it."^[2] Shortly after the album was released, Perception went bankrupt.^[2]
