Diamond Records did not issue Dove's then-current single "Dancin' Out of My Heart" on this album, instead deciding to issue its B-side, "Back from Baltimore". According to Dove, Neil Diamond had written the song "Red Red Wine" for Dove to record; however, Phil Kahl turned down the song, claiming Dove had a "teen idol image" he needed to keep. Diamond then wrote "Back from Baltimore" for Dove, since Dove lived there at the time.[1]
The album was issued in both mono and stereo. There was also a special pressing made for the Columbia Records Club.
