Released in October 1977, it peaked at number 20 on the Australian Kent Music Report albums chart.

The Ferrets had formed in 1975 and early in the following year they recorded a demo tape, which they sent to Ian "Molly" Meldrum, talent coordinator for Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) pop music TV series, Countdown.

Meldrum had them signed to Mushroom Records and started producing their debut album, Dreams of a Love, in July 1976.

[1][2] After nearly a year, production of the album was still incomplete, so the Ferrets took over — assisted by recording engineers, Tony Cohen and Ian MacKenzie — Meldrum was attributed as "Willie Everfinish".

[1] The album cover depicted a model, Wendy Bannister, holding a snarling ferret at her shoulder.
