Background and production

In 1975 McLean made part of the German group Silver Convention, a group that also included Linda G. Thompson and Ramona Wulf[1][2] and had hits such as "Save Me" and "Fly, Robin, Fly".[3] McLean planned to do an album as a solo artist and release as the first single the song "Lady Bump". The album was produced by Michael Kunze and arranged by Sylvester Levay.

The first single of the album was the song "Lady Bump" which backed with "The Lady Bumps On" and was released on the Jupiter record label cat - 16 069 AT in June 1975.[4] By November 1975, the track bw "The Lady Bumps On" was rated # 14 in the New York discos.[5] In January 1976, it was #8 on the Cash box pop singles charts.[6] In July 1976, "Lady Bump" #7 in Australia's 2S Music Survey.[7] The single itself sold 3 million copies.[8] The second single of the album was the song 1-2-3-4...

The album received mixed reviews.

Justin Kantor from AllMusic says that unfortunately the album "primarily consists of material that is derivative of its hit single, but never quite stands on its own." He also said that the Michael Kunze's smooth production is "indeed pleasant and there are particularly enjoyable moments to be found in "Big Bad Boy" and "Devil Eyes,"" but according to him "overall, the hooks are not as strong and McLean doesn't sound quite as enthused."

Robert Christgau in his review for Silver Convention's album Get Up and Boogie argued that "they should have borrowed "Lady Bump" and "Big Bad Boy" from Penny McLean, whose bland vocalizing is best buried in the mix, as it is here, rather than showcased on a "solo" album."[11]
