    Information

    The track "Living on a Thin Line" by Dave Davies was played three times in the 2001 episode "University" of the American TV show The Sopranos. According to producer Terence Winter on the DVD extras, it is the series` most asked-about song. The song was also played in the final episode of the HBO series Vice Principals.

    The song "Good Day" includes an allusion to the death of actress Diana Dors.

    The song "Do It Again" was featured in the film Click (released in 2006), and in trailers that were promoting the film.[5] It was also used in TV ad promotions for the 2013 edition of the Tour de France.

    Three tracks ("Going Solo", "Missing Persons", and "Sold Me Out") were repurposed for Kinks leader Ray Davies` solo debut album, the soundtrack to his concurrently produced, self-directed film, Return to Waterloo.

    Commercial performance

    The album spent twenty weeks on the US Billboard album charts and reached its peak position of No. 57 in February 1985.[6]
