The album was released on the [[Dunhill Records|Dunhill]] [[record label]] on June 11, 1969<ref name="Billboard" /> and was the first of two albums released by the band that year. The album contains the top 20 hit [[Single (music)|single]]s "[[Easy to Be Hard]]", "[[Eli's Comin'|Eli's Coming]]", and "[[Celebrate (Three Dog Night song)|Celebrate]]"; the latter of which (along with the album's opening track "[[Feelin' Alright?|Feelin' Alright]]") featured the [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]] [[horn section]]. It is also notable for being the first album by Three Dog Night to include songs written by band members, and for its inclusion of the [[Elton John]] / [[Bernie Taupin]] song "[[Lady Samantha]]," as the duo of John/Taupin would not become widely known in the United States for another year. The album reached the top 10 on charts in both The United States and Canada and became certified gold by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]] at the end of the year.
