The album was released in September 1970 but again failed to achieve significant success. Sales began to grow, however, due to over 300 shows the band put on in 1970, setting the stage for their artistic and commercial breakthrough with 1971's live follow-up album, "At Fillmore East". Following the band's increased fame in the early 1970s, this album and its self-titled predecessor were repackaged into the compilation album "Beginnings". In 1973, "Beginnings" was certified gold for sales of 500,000 copies, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
