The producer of the album Jeffrey Lesser was,according to songwriter/singer Dave Cousins,"...a great engineer but didn't understand the dynamics of the band". [4] The album was intended to be the final one by the band but Cousins was persuaded to carry on when he met with Clive Davis of Arista Records. [5] The final track here "Goodbye" was meant to be his final word on his career leading the band. [6]

Nomadness is the ninth studio album by English band Strawbs. It was their last album recorded for A&M Records and their first with no full-time keyboard player since 1970's Dragonfly. Indeed,Strawbs would not feature a full-time keyboard player until 1978 when Andy Richards joined the band. All the tracks are timed at less than five minutes giving the album a lighter,less 'epic' feel in contrast to the previous three studio albums. Rick Wakeman came back to help on electric harpsichord on one song.
Deep Cuts is the tenth studio album by English band Strawbs.
Deadlines is the twelfth studio album by English band Strawbs.
Heartbreak Hill is the fifteenth studio album by English band Strawbs. The album was recorded in 1978 but,due to record deal and management difficulties,was not released until 1995. The recording schedule conflicted with guitarist Dave Lambert's plans to record a solo album,so session musicians Jo Partridge and Miller Anderson were recruited to supply electric guitar.

It was the first Strawbs album in 12 years to contain new material and featured several different line-ups of musicians from past Strawbs eras. Welsh folk-singer Mary Hopkin featured on many tracks,continuing a working partnership established by Dave Cousins and Brian Willoughby on their album The Bridge,from which several of the tracks on this album are drawn.
