The album spawned five singles: "In The Summertime", a cover of a Mungo Jerry classic, "Boombastic", which peaked at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, at 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 1 on the U.S. R&B chart, "Why You Treat Me So Bad?", the double A-side "Something Different" / "The Train Is Coming", and "Day Oh", which was released as a Japanese only single.
With a soundtrack of the Mungo Jerry song "In the Summertime" (one of the lines of which is "Have a drink, have a drive..."), a group of friends are drinking in the beer garden of a pub on a warm summer's evening.
It was notable for the first performance of Grateful Dead in the UK and also for the triumphant performance of the band Mungo Jerry (of "In the Summertime" fame) and featured such notable bands as Free, Ginger Baker's Air Force, Colosseum, Family, Black Sabbath and Traffic.
The melody is reminiscent of Mungo Jerry's 1970 hit "In the Summertime".
