It's produced by Todd Rundgren. The album is noted for its lush orchestrations and psychedelic pop sound, heavily influenced by 60's bands. The track "Dear God" was originally a B-side but became a radio hit in the US ... college radio loved it. Later pressings of the album replaced "Mermaid Smiled" with "Dear God," though modern reissues often include both.

A critical darling and songwriter's songwriter, her work had a significant impact on generations of musicians, even as widespread commercial fame eluded her during her lifetime. Laura blended a whole slew of musical styles into her own and, with her unbelievable three octave voice and idiosyncratic piano playing, fundamentally changed the musical landscape for late 20th Century songwriters.

It's the first Rolling Stones album to be self-produced by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, using the pseudonym "The Glimmer Twins". They took over from longtime producer Jimmy Miller. It's also the end of an era, as it was the last to feature guitarist Mick Taylor.
