Gallery was under contract with the small record label Sussex, and in Germany their records were released on A&M Records ( distributed by Ariola ).

The follow-up single I Believe in Music in the fall of 1972 was a cover version and originally by Mac Davis . It reached the top 30 of the US Billboard charts , as did the third single Big City Miss Ruth Ann . From the second LP in 1973, the band's releases were credited with Gallery featuring Jim Gold . Since the commercial success for the singles decoupled from this album failed to materialize, the group stopped their activities and Jim Gold started a solo career.
