In June 1974, Bad Company released their self-titled debut album. Three months later, the band and recording engineer Ron Nevison recorded at least eight songs at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, England. Sometime later Nevison mixed the songs for "Straight Shooter" at Air Studios in London. The sleeve for the album was designed by Hipgnosis, who also designed their debut album.
