The group then invited eclectic soul singer Robert Palmer to record vocals for the track "Communication".

When he heard that they had recorded demos for "Get It On (Bang a Gong)", he asked to try out vocals on that one as well, and by the end of the day, the group knew that they had found that elusive chemistry which distinguishes successful bands.

By the time the band decided to take the 8-track set on the road, Palmer had left to record his solo album Riptide (which, likely because of the involvement of the Power Station participants Edwards, Thompson, and Andy Taylor, is very similar in sound to the Power Station album).

He was replaced by Michael Des Barres (famed for co-writing Animotion's "Obsession").

During the promotion cycle for the album, EMI released three singles, including the cover of T. Rex's "Get It On".
