[1] Their novelty song "Baked Beans" was a substantial hit, but the group thereafter found the rock audience would not fully embrace their subsequent offerings.

After a successful concert in Albert Park, Auckland, Mother Goose decided to move to Australia,[1] and started playing at Cloudland in Brisbane and at the Playroom on the Gold Coast, Queensland in late 1976.

[1] Bands such as Cold Chisel, Men at Work, The Angels, Midnight Oil, all started by opening for Mother Goose.

There they signed with the entertainment agents, Mecca Artists, and with help of Sid Bernstein they started playing residencies at The Other End, Trax and The Great Gildersleeves.

Contractual battles with the Scotti Brothers, coupled with Mother Goose’s refusal to conform prevented the band securing another major recording contract.
