About the album
The album's production had its peculiarities. Initially, Jones had considered Roy Thomas Baker, but he was unavailable. Instead, the owners of Sarm Studios, Gary Lyons and John Sinclair, handled the production alongside Jones and McDonald. There is a discrepancy regarding the extent of Jones and McDonald's involvement at this stage; while Lyons and Sinclair claim to be the sole producers according to their contracts, Jones describes the process as a joint effort where he and McDonald worked closely on the album's sound. After an initial mix at Sarm Studios, London, which did not satisfy those involved, the record was remixed at Atlantic Recording Studios by Jones, McDonald, and Jimmy Douglass.
The result was a record that, according to critic Henry McNulty of the Hartford Courant, heralded "something good beginning". This work spawned highly popular singles such as "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", and "Long, Long Way from Home". The album also includes tracks like "Headknocker" and "Starrider", where Mick Jones, co-founder and lead guitarist, takes on a prominent vocal part for the first time. In 2010, a SACD reissue was released by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, presented in a vinyl replica sleeve that, however, omitted bonus tracks.
