Background

In 1981, the Plimsouls released their self titled debut album through Planet Records but left the label the same year, dissatisfied with the lack of promotion by their label. [7] The album reached #153 on the Billboard albums chart. [5] The following year, the band released the independent single "A Million Miles Away" on their own Shaky City label, after which they signed with Geffen Records for Everywhere at Once. [3]

Critical reception

Retrospectively, AllMusic felt that the album has mixed results, writing, "While the change to a major label did have a profound impact on the band, it wasn't always for the best. While Jeff Eyrich's somewhat heavy-handed production did take a little air out of their performance, the end result is far less clinical than other major-label mainstream rock records of the day." [2]

Trouser Press wrote that the album is "bubbling with undiminished fire and melody." [3]
