The album, released in November 1986, could not sustain the comeback success of the "New Beginning" single and, despite positive reviews, didn't make a great impression on the charts. Because of this, a planned early 1987 single release of "Love in a World Gone Mad" was shelved. On original release the album was issued on Vinyl, Cassette and Compact Disc, all with slightly varied track listings. The Cassette version boasted a whole side of extended remixes (cramming nine of the vinyl's ten songs on side one), while the Compact Disc version contained a new song, "Give a Little Love", in favour of the "I Hear Talk" extended mix.
