The album contains a mere seven songs, including "Ballero" which was previously unreleased. Many of the songs appear in extended versions, two of them filling an LP side apiece. One single was taken from the album: "Ballero" / "Slippin' into Darkness" (both heavily edited for single release), which charted at #33 on the USA pop chart, and #17 on the R&B singles charts.[citation needed]. The album sold 1.5 million copies.[7]
