It was also the last album to feature original bassist Brian Cole, who died that August. One final recording with Cole, the non-album track "Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels" written by Albert Hammond, was released as a single on the Mums label in 1973.

Waterbeds was the group's lowest charted album, reaching only #194 on the Billboard Top LPs list. [1] However, it did reach #80 in Canada. [2] Of the two singles released in conjunction with the album, The Association's rendition of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Darling Be Home Soon" bubbled under the Billboard top 100 chart at #104 and reached #64 in Canada.
