It was released in the US in 1972 under the title No Answer due to a misunderstood telephone message left for a United Artists executive asking about the name. [1] The album is centred around the core trio of Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, and Bev Bevan who were the remaining members of rock group The Move. The Move were still releasing singles in the UK at the same time as this project, but interest was soon to be abandoned in Wood’s former band.The sound is unique on this recording, unlike the more slickly produced albums of the Jeff Lynne years, incorporating many wind instruments and replacing guitar parts with heavy ’sawing’ cello riffs, giving this recording an experimental Baroque and roll feel.
The original LP was mixed in Quad sound but was only released in this format in South America. The album art was designed by Hipgnosis and the photographs of the band on the back of the album cover, dressed in period costume were taken at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, adding to the Baroque flavor and emphasis on Stuart England found on the record
